1862 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-67+ (PCGS).

Vividly toned and thoroughly appealing, the obverse is dressed in a target-like array of antique gold, cobalt blue and pinkish-apricot iridescence. The more reserved, yet equally original reverse exhibits sea-green and pale mauve peripheral color around a silver-gray center. Smooth and lustrous throughout, this lovely coin is sure to please even the most discerning numismatist. The 1862 is the final high mintage (847,000 circulation strikes) Philadelphia Mint dime from the Civil War and early Reconstruction eras, and is attractive for type purposes. As a PCGS-certified Superb Gem, however, the coin offered here is exceedingly rare from a condition standpoint. In fact, it is tied for finest seen by that service with only one other MS-67+. A find for the high quality type collector or advanced specialist in Liberty Seated coinage.
