1862 10C MS (PCGS#4635)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1862 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Enchanting premium Gem surfaces exhibit mottled peripheral highlights of steel-blue, olive-russet and reddish-gold that yield to antique silver-gray toward the centers. Sharply struck in all but a few isolated areas and a delight to behold. The 1862 is the final high mintage (847,000 circulation strikes) Philadelphia Mint dime from the Civil War and early Reconstruction eras, and is attractive for type purposes. As a PCGS-certified upper end Gem, however, the coin offered here is rare from a condition standpoint. It is a find for the high quality type collector or advanced specialist in Liberty Seated coinage that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction.
