1902-S 10C MS66+ PCGS CAC EX FROG RUN FARM

Tied For Second Finest. This 1902-S Barber Dime is notably scarce in high grades, in fact while not the rarest S Mint Dime it is the rarest in Mint State. The visually striking survivor from the San Francisco Mint—one of only three graded at this level by PCGS, with just one finer and a single CAC-certified piece above. Known for its superior strike and the occasional prooflike surface, the 1902-S is one of the most attractive Barber dimes struck on the West Coast, often exhibiting vibrant luster and exceptional definition. This particular specimen is enveloped in a unified golden-bronze toning, with a butter-gold core accented by deep amber, russet-orange, and subtle lilac hues. The fields remain untouched and original, with no evidence of disturbance, cleaning, or friction. This coin delivers superb visual balance and originality, making it an elite candidate for a high-end type set, color-focused Registry collection, or advanced Barber dime cabinet. Its combination of rarity, technical excellence, and vintage eye appeal elevates it to trophy status among 20th-century San Francisco Mint issues. No CAC 66+ has sold in recent years; however, a MS66 PCGS CAC sold for $5,906 08/21 GC.
