Lot Description

1859-O Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-103. Rarity-3. Medium O. MS-66 (NGC). This stunning high grade dime exhibits subtle semi-prooflike tendencies to otherwise satiny mint luster. Lightly toned in pale iridescent gold, the surfaces are silky smooth and feature a sharp strike. Although ranking among the easier New Orleans Mint Liberty Seated dimes to locate in lower grades, the 1859-O is scarce to rare above the VF level. As a premium quality Gem the lovely coin here offered here is worthy of the strong bids. Provenance: From our sale of the Larry H. Miller Collection, December 2020 Auction, lot 1053. NGC Census: 11; 4 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 4620. NGC ID: 2395. Click here for certification details from NGC.
