Lot Description

1885-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-5. EF-45 (PCGS). With warm dove-gray patina with a tinge of olive, this is an attractive and pleasing example at the assigned grade level. A lower mintage issue from the later Liberty Seated dime series, the 1885-S was produced to the extent of just 43,690 coins. Gerry Fortin (seateddimevarieties.com) describes this issue as "rare in any grade" and further states that the 1885-S is "the key date for With Legend San Francisco dimes." Provenance: From the Lincoln Square Collection. PCGS# 4695. NGC ID: 23B2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
