Lot Description

1859 10c PCGS MS68 DLRC #: 1834192 // PCGS #: 4619 A beautifully toned example of this fantastic type coin. With basically no distracting marks and light reddish-rose outer tints, the centers display a pleasant blue. This coin is as nice of a dime as we've ever handled and its story of survival would certainly be an interesting one. Only 6 coins are graded as such for the entire type with none having ever sold in auction, this seems like a fantastic value for the long-term collector. * Category : Dimes * Series : Liberty Seated Dimes * Type : Stars obverse, with drapery * Years for Type : 1840-1860 * Strike : Business * Denomination : Dime * Mint Location : Philadelphia * Designer : Christian Gobrecht * Composition : 90% silver; 10% copper * Weight : 2.49g * Edge Type : Reeded * Mintage : 429,200
