Lot Description

1849 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-64 (NGC). A satiny example with iridescent champagne-gold undertones to dominant patina in light pearl-gray. As with so many early date Philadelphia Mint issues in the Liberty Seated dime series, the 1849 is readily obtainable in lower circulated grades but is surprisingly elusive at and above the EF level. Mint State survivors are scarce by any measure, especially when they approach Gem quality, as here. NGC Census: 17; 11 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 4591. NGC ID: 238G.
