David Lawrence Rare Coins, which was the agent for the buyer, announced the purchase of the finest known 1894-S Barber dime in existence. The coin graded a Proof 66 by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). The coin was originally a part of the J.M. Clapp collection and was acquired around the turn of the Century.

The historic rise of price for this piece is clearly seen as skyward climb. It was originally sold in 1990 for $275,000, then in 1998 it sold again for handsome $825,000. In 2005 it broke the million mark, fetching $1,322,500 until it was finally sold for 1,900,000.
