Lot Description

1851 Seated Liberty Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). The website <a href=""http://www.seateddimevarieties.com"">www.seateddimevarieties.com</a> states of the 1851-P:<br /> <br />                     This date is fairly common in grade Good through VF, but becomes scarce VF or better. Underrated in AU and Mint State grades at current CoinValue values.<br /> <br /> Indeed, this is the first Gem-quality survivor that this cataloger can remember handling in recent sales. A Condition Census piece, the obverse is dressed in ""old-silver"" patina while the reverse exhibits bolder toning in sea-green and copper-gray colors. Both sides are fully struck, lustrous and silent on the subject of detracting abrasions. An important bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Seated Liberty coinage.<br />
