Lot Description

1885 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. This breathtakingly beautiful Superb Gem is boldly toned in multicolored iridescent patina that blooms across both sides. With a sharp strike and considerable prooflike reflectivity in the fields, this is a remarkably well produced and preserved 1885 dime. Just 3 have been graded finer by PCGS, and approval by CAC surely increases the desirability. The typical Mint State survivor from this 2,532,497-piece issue is somewhat softly struck with lackluster and/or noticeably abraded surfaces, the kind of coin that is apt to grade no higher than MS-64 at PCGS or NGC. In addition to superior striking quality and surface preservation, the present example offers extremely vivid toning and should attract the strongest bids. PCGS Population: 19; 3 finer. PCGS# 4694. NGC ID: 23AZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
