Notes:
"1895-O is the "key" to the Barber dime series (1894-S excluded) and, as such, often sought after by non-Barber collectors. Though it doesn't have the lowest mint state population, it is the most valuable because of its scarcity in all circulated grades. (By contrast, the 1894-O is always available through at least XF grades.) Strike of this issue ranges from decent to outstanding. Because it is a key date it is sometimes hoarded. Finding coins below MS60 isn’t too difficult and we recommend finding a certified piece in any grade because of counterfeits and coins with added mint marks. As the population numbers bear out, mint state specimens are very scarce and there aren’t enough coins to satisfy collector demand. If you are lucky enough to find a nice, mint state example, grab it. You’ll likely have to pay a premium."
