<B>1893/2<10C> PR64 NGC.</B></I> When checking our massive archive files, we find have auctioned only two 1893/2 overdate Barber Dimes in the past, both being business strike examples. This is the first opportunity we have had to offer a proof. Little is known about why the mint chose to recycle an 1892 proof die and simply repunch a 3 over the existing 2. However, this is certainly the case, as the diagonal of the 2 shows clearly within the lower loop of the 3. The fields are deeply mirrored, this being complemented with a moderate coating of gray-rose and cobalt-blue iridescence lending a fully original appearance overall. All details are sharp and square as expected on a proof example. Current (11/05) NGC Census figures report only three proof specimens; two PR61s, and this lone PR64. A fleeting opportunity for the Barber Dime specialist.
