Description du lot

1869-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101. Rarity-3. MS-62 (PCGS). Highly active cartwheel luster spins languidly beneath varied gold, champagne-russet, and lime-green toning. Well above average strike for the date, bold in all places including the top of Liberty's head and the bow at the reverse wreath. A notable rarity at MS-62, as here, or finer, this despite a sizable mintage of 450,000 pieces. Undoubtedly much of this mintage went immediately into pocket change in post-Civil War San Francisco, which accounts for the vast majority of heavily circulated 1865-S dimes available today. A seldom-offered opportunity that we suspect will be a focal point of advanced Liberty Seated dime specialists when it crosses the auction block. PCGS Population: 12; 30 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 4650. NGC ID: 239Z. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
