1841 Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-104. Rarity-3. Repunched Date. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
A handsome, richly original example bathed in a bold blend of pinkish-silver, powder blue and reddish-gold patina. Billowy mint frost throughout, the strike is sharp and the surfaces are expectably smooth for the assigned grade. The 1841 (1,622,500 pieces produced) ranks as one of the most plentiful Liberty Seated dimes from its decade in circulated grades. Low end Uncs through Choice Mint State are also relatively obtainable but in Gem and higher grades, as here, the 1841 emerges as a formidable condition rarity. The popular Fortin-104 variety features an obverse die with bold repunching to the digits 184 in the date and a series of die scratches (as made) along the border from star 11 to Liberty's foot.
