1911-D 10C

Description

1911-D Barber Dime, PCGS MS67. The Denver Mint's 1911 dime production reached an unprecedented level, with output jumping to over 11 million coins—more than triple the previous year's output and approaching the all-time high for Barber Dimes at that facility. While the reason for this dramatic increase remains undocumented, it likely served to place additional circulating currency into western states. This substantial mintage makes the 1911-D one of the more readily available dates within the Barber Dime series, though finding quality examples in higher grades remains desirable to collectors. This exceptional example, graded PCGS MS67, represents the finest known specimen of this date. With only four coins graded higher across all services and just 15 total submissions to PCGS, this piece stands at the absolute pinnacle of the issue. The coin exhibits the sharp strike and lustrous surfaces characteristic of premium Mint State examples, with full originality and eye appeal that justify its elite standing within the population data. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper and struck to the standard specifications of the era, this dime represents both numismatic quality and precious metal content. Designed by Charles E. Barker, the obverse and reverse display the crisp definition expected of this grade level. For serious Barber Dime specialists seeking the finest 1911-D known to exist, this offering provides an exceptional opportunity. PCGS Certificate #30823349
