Lot Description

1886 Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-105. Rarity-4. Repunched Date. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Exquisite Condition Census quality for this otherwise plentiful issue from the later Liberty Seated dime series. Lustrous frosty surfaces are adorned with wisps of iridescent champagne-pink and silver-gray toning. Sharply struck throughout and virtually pristine, this is certainly one of the finest known survivors from a generous mintage of 6,376,684 circulation strikes. A find for the high quality type collector, a loupe reveals bold repunching to the digits 86 in the date that confirms the Fortin-105 attribution and also identifies this coin as significant for the Liberty Seated dime variety enthusiast. PCGS Population: just 2; 0 finer. PCGS# 4696. NGC ID: 23B3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
