Description

1872-CC Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-5+. EF-40 (NGC).
Warmly toned in a blend of golden-gray and light olive, this impressive condition rarity is uncommonly smooth and has a problem-free texture for an early date CC-mint silver coin. Overall bold definition is also noteworthy, and both the quality and eye appeal are sure to arouse the interest of advanced Liberty Seated collectors. Although 35,480 examples were originally minted probably no more than 200 to 300 pieces still exist today. The median grade for certified specimens is about VF-20 or so. EF examples are rare, and the issue is all but unobtainable finer.
PCGS# 4657. NGC ID: 23A8.
