1894-O Barber Dime AU55 ANACS Soapbox – New Orleans Near-Gem
This attractive 1894-O Barber Dime, graded AU55 by ANACS, is housed in a collectible vintage ANACS “Soapbox” holder and represents a desirable New Orleans Mint issue. Barber coinage from New Orleans is known for its scarcity in higher grades, making this near-Mint State example especially appealing.
The coin exhibits strong remaining detail, light and even wear, and traces of original luster, offering pleasing eye appeal for the grade. Liberty’s portrait is well defined, and the reverse wreath remains sharp, making this a solid and attractive AU example.
