Lot Description

1858 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-65 (PCGS). Soft pewter-gray and rose-russet patina adorns both sides, the obverse in particular with vivid cobalt blue undertones evident at more direct viewing angles. Satiny to modestly semi-reflective in finish with a boldly executed strike. A high mintage (1,540,000 circulation strikes) Liberty Seated dime for its era, the 1858 is a popular issue to represent the Stars Obverse design in type sets. We caution bidders that Mint State survivors are scarce (seateddimevarities.com: Rarity-4-), particularly at the Gem grade level, as here. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911. PCGS Population: 11; 9 finer (MS-67 finest).
