'94-S Barber Dime On Display At Santa Clara

JrGMan2004

My local news just did a little blurb about the '94-S Barber Dime that's on display at Santa Clara. They mentioned it was the finest graded, but they didn't say the actual grade. And I know it was in an NGC Holder. Can anyone find some good pictures of the dime? And what grade it is? Thanks Oh, and if anyone who's seen her in person cares to comment on her, go ahead...

It was nicer than any Barber dimes I have.

It is a PROOF as all the 94-s are, I don't recall if it was a 66 or a 67, I was simply in awe of the aura of the thing. Okay, maybe that's a bit too metaphysical, but it really is nice looking with a lot of personality (original tone).

It was a PCGS 66 when it was sold into the Richmond Collection about 5 years ago. Don't know what it is now. The only pictures I've seen were done by Photoproof, which tends to burn through the colors to show the details. Not a pretty sight. I'm certain it looks much better in person.

It is in an NGC 66 holder and contrary to what the population reports say I do not believe any 1894-S dimes are currently in PCGS slabs

NGC PF66, the coin is dark.

That's strange. Why would your local news in Orlando, FL have a blurb on a coin that's on display in California?

It's Tampa It was probally like an AP story... they did the same thing for that coin that walked in off the street at the ANA... it wasn't the station's own photographers... it was just a clip of video of the coin, that the anchor did a little narration of...

I was thinking the same thing? I live in California and haven't seen anything about the convention in my local news. I'm only 2 1/2 hours away from the show!

The picture on the cover of the James Stack catalog was good.

Believe me, the coin is much darker when you see it in person. I was in Santa Clara show yesterday. Nevertheless, it is a very rare coin.

Nobody wants it any more..it's in an NGC slab

I saw it at Santa Clara yesterday. It is dark. I talked about it in my show report I posted a few minutes ago. Please read if you are interested. In short, the display did a disservice to the coin.
