Lot 590
1907 Barber Dime. PCGS graded Proof 66. Umber shades around the rims, darkening to inky blue at the rims. Liberty is nicely frosted, and the quality here is remarkable. These coins were all put away in 1944 and not touched, given decades to tone the delightful colors which are so desirable. The Benson collection is a feast for the eyes, and will no doubt lay waste to many collecting budgets when these finally cross the auction block. PCGS notes 21 graded this high, with just 7 graded higher.
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,300.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James Macallister on March 31, 1944 as part of a set from 1858 to 1915 for $195.00.
