Lot Description

1858-O Seated Liberty Dime. MS-62 (PCGS). Fully struck, otherwise satiny surfaces reveal a bit of light, intermingled frost to the reverse finish. Both sides are vividly toned in blended lavender-rose, olive-gold, antique-copper and powder-blue colors, the patination a bit bolder on the reverse. As with all pre-Civil War New Orleans Mint coinage, the 1858-O is scarce-to-rare in all Mint State grades.
