The label reads 1895-S, 10C, VF35, with cert number 6503678-013 printed on it, matching the slab pictured, which is the exact item you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented honestly at the assigned grade. At VF35 this is a solid mid-circulated example, a step above straight Very Fine, with clear detail remaining in Liberty's portrait, full readable LIBERTY on the headband, and even natural gray patina across both sides consistent with honest circulation. The coin shows no problems noted on the holder. Please review the photos closely, as they are of the actual coin and form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE COIN\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Barber dime was designed by Charles E. Barber and struck from 1892 to 1916 in 90 percent silver. This is the 1895-S, minted in San Francisco, indicated by the S mintmark on the reverse. The 1895-S is recognized as a better date in the series, with a low mintage that makes it one of the more difficult San Francisco issues to locate in collectible grades, and it is a coin many Barber dime collectors specifically need to complete a date and mintmark set. The obverse features Liberty wearing a laurel wreath and cap, and the reverse carries the wreath design common to the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarber coinage is widely collected across dimes, quarters, and half dollars, and better-date examples like the 1895-S in an NGC holder at a mid-circulated grade appeal both to date-set collectors and to buyers who prefer certified problem-free examples over raw coins of uncertain originality. Coins of this date and mint are considerably scarcer than the common Philadelphia issues of the same era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame business day shipping with a 6:00 AM EST cutoff.
