Losbeschreibung: 1868-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101a. Rarity-6. MS-67 (NGC). A sparkling, brilliant branch mint dime with boldly active luster and exceptional eye appeal.

Just a dozen examples of the date have been certified thus far by NGC, this despite a somewhat sizeable mintage for the date of 260,000 pieces; the vast majority of the issue saw heavy duty in commerce in and around San Francisco, with most of today's survivors well-circulated. If a memorable Liberty Seated dime collection or type ensemble is your goal, you won't find many more memorable than the present Gem, so please bid accordingly. NGC Census: 2; none finer within any designation. PCGS# 4650. NGC Census: 2; none finer within any designation.
