- Lot Description
- 1859-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-4. VF-20 (NGC).
A pleasingly original example with mottled olive-russet patina to otherwise medium gray surfaces. All major design elements are bold, and the in hand appearance is rather smooth for the assigned grade. From a mintage of just 60,000 pieces that saw extensive commercial use on the West Coast, survivors of which are scarce in an absolute sense and rare above the present level.
PCGS# 4621. NGC ID: 2396.
