<B>1895 10C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Perhaps due to the blinding reflection from the illustrious 1895-O Barber dime, collectors forget that this P-mint also has a mintage nearly as low: 690,000 coins for the 1895-P compared with 440,000 for the 1895-O. Both sides of the present specimen are thickly and evenly coated with a frosty overlay of grayish patina and just a slight tinge of charcoal and gold. The strike is uniformly bold throughout. The only distraction is a tiny, hair-thin luster graze appearing on the cheek only when the coin is tilted at a certain angle. While picayune, this minor annoyance appears to have limited an even finer grade. PCGS has certified nine Premium Gems including the current piece, with only one finer (3/08). The lowest-mintage P-mint by a country mile, and a key date in the Barber series. <BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Charles E.
