Description
1887 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-67 (PCGS).
Subtle powder blue peripheral highlights enliven otherwise champagne-apricot surfaces. This is a beautiful Superb Gem, carefully preserved and otherwise expertly produced with just a touch of softness to isolated features near the borders. The coiners at the Philadelphia Mint were obviously kept busy in 1887 churning out 11,283,229 dimes for commercial use. This is one of the most popular circulation strike issues in the Legend Obverse Liberty Seated series for Mint State type purposes. Although certainly well suited for such use, we caution bidders that the offered coin is rare from a condition standpoint and will also appeal to advanced specialists in this series.
PCGS# 4698. NGC ID: 23B5.
PCGS Population: 6; 3 finer (all MS-67+).
From the George Schwenk Collection. Earlier from Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2020, lot 3504.
Estimate: $2000
