GTG: 1912 Barber Dime, something a little different

Here is a coin that normally is not on my radar. But when I saw it is the display case of my local dealer, I had to take a look at. After looking at it, I knew it HAD to come home with me. Let's see what you think of it.

Proof?

 

PR-62 almost CAM.

 

PF-63 at most.

 

Wish it could have come home with me.

 

Im at PR63 as well

 

PR64

 

What kind of holder is it in? The prongs remind me of a PCGS rattler.

 

PR63. Beautiful coin!!!!! Great cameo for an oldie.

 

It is a very beautiful dime. It is a proof as you guy's have stated. I know that proofs are nearly impossible to guess at accurately through photographs.

One thing I found interesting with this one is that the mirrored surfaces have polishing lines still visible. I'm not used to seeing this in proof coins. Most all proof coins I have looked at though are from the modern era. I thought the polishing lines were possible hairlines at first, until I confirmed that they ran right under the devices.

Yes, it's in a PCGS rattler which apparently was in a long time collection as the holder is in really nice condition and the bonus is the serial is very low, almost the white label level.

 

PF63 CAM

 

I know the answer so wont say but will say wowwww awesome pickup love it

 

I will go 64CAM

The pull away toning around the date looks awesome. Does it have a blue hue when tilted in the light?

 

The coin is actually pretty white. There is not much toning happening at all. I think what you see in the images above is an artifact of the lighting.

 

I'm at PR64 CAM, but also out of my league.

 

Pretty coin my friend I'm going with a Pr 64

 

I'm thinking 63. Nice proof.

 

PR 63 due to the older holder, but could be a 64 CAM today

On first view, I thought it was a proof-like Barber, but the rims and the other posters gave away that it was indeed a proof. Definitely a nice find!

 

I think it's probably better than that. I'm gonna say 66. Maybe 66+!!!!! Love it. Beautiful.

 

PR63, not sure if it's got a CAM designation or not. The reverse certainly looks good enough but I'm unsure about the obverse being totally there.
