Notes:
"There
were over 34 million dimes produced this year, the vast majority came from
the Philadelphia Mint."
"1907-O is one of the poorest
struck dates of the series. Nice hair detail over Liberty's forehead is
almost never found. Likewise, the wreath on the reverse will also be soft
in many details. Otherwise, the coin comes with very smooth creamy
surfaces and nice luster. To date, 16 coins have been graded MS 65 and
another 12 even higher."1
The finest
Uncirculated examples
graded by PCGS are 8 MS-66's.
