Highlights from the Jett Collection:

1895-O Barber Dime – MS65+ PCGS CAC, Ex. Norweb-Law

The 1895-O Barber Dime is a key date in the series, with a mintage of only 440,000 coins. This MS65+ example, certified by PCGS and endorsed by CAC, is among the finest known. It features a sharp strike with full details, radiant luster, and pristine surfaces, making it a cornerstone piece for any serious Barber Dime collection. This coin’s pedigree is traced back all the way to 1908.

1898-S Barber Dime – MS66+ PCGS CAC, Ex. Gardner

Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1898-S Barber Dime is notably scarce in high grades due to heavy circulation. This MS66+ specimen, formerly part of the esteemed Gardner Collection, is a standout with its breathtaking multicolor toning and exceptional preservation. The obverse displays a vibrant palette of violet-magenta, emerald green, and golden-orange hues, while the reverse features a target-style spectrum radiating from a lavender-silver center into crimson and teal. Its superior eye appeal and rarity make it a true gem.

1901-O Barber Dime – MS67+ PCGS CAC, Ex. Blay

The 1901-O Barber Dime is a challenging issue in Mint State, and this MS67+ example ranks as the Single Finest. With a sharp strike, full details, and vibrant luster, it exemplifies the quality that defines the Jett Collection. Its provenance from the Blay Collection further enhances its desirability among advanced collectors.

1902-O Barber Dime – MS67 PCGS, Ex. Pittman-Gardner

This 1902-O Barber Dime, graded MS67 by PCGS, is the single finest known example of its date. It boasts uncommonly sharp strike definition for a New Orleans Mint issue, with full detail in the laurel leaves and LIBERTY band. The obverse is adorned with a radiant mix of apricot, olive-gold, and turquoise, while the reverse features blazing album toning in electric violet and golden-orange. Its bold luster and untouched surfaces make it a once-in-a-generation offering for the discerning collector. Incredibly tough to find attractive and an important offering.
