In what can best be described as a "phenomenal" sale, Heritage Auctions held another of their Signature Sales in Dallas; this one was originally scheduled for the Long Beach Show. While the overall auction was well rounded with an array representing nearly every series, the Bob R. Simpson Collection Part I was the main focus for most buyers. This segment of the sale brought over $14 million.
1894 S Barber Dime certified by PCGS PR66
This coin is widely known as one of the top five rarities in U.S. coinage; it sold for $1.5 million. It is tied for the highest grade for the date and there were only 24 originally minted. Several bidders felt the final price realized was a bargain in today's market. Another PR66 last sold at the FUN show in 2016 for $1,997,500.

This is the finest known coin for the date. While the original mintage was slightly over 22,000, there are few that reach higher than the 64 grade, and of those, some are sure to be resubmissions. The final price realized was $750,000 as this was a very popular coin among the serious bidders.
