1863 Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101a. Rarity-5. MS-62 (PCGS).
Attractive prooflike Mint State quality for this challenging Civil War era silver issue. Otherwise untoned, the peripheries exhibit iridescent patina that is more vivid and varied on the obverse. The suspension of silver specie payments by Northern banks the preceding year explains the Philadelphia Mint's limited output of 14,000 circulation strikes in 1863. With most high grade survivors of the date hailing from the year's Proof issue, the opportunity to acquire this pleasing Uncirculated example deserves serious bidder consideration.
