Description
1863 Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101a. Rarity-5. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
Condition Census quality for an eagerly sought Civil War era Liberty Seated dime issue that is scarce to rare in all grades. This is a lovely premium Gem with virtually brilliant surfaces that allow ready appreciation of a decidedly semi-prooflike finish. Only the lightest iridescent champagne-gold toning is noted, and then again more so at the borders than toward the centers. The strike is fully executed, the surfaces expertly preserved. With silver withdrawn from circulation in the East and Midwest the preceding year, it is little wonder than the Philadelphia Mint received sufficient bullion to strike only 14,000 dimes for commercial use in 1863. Mint State survivors, as here, generally represent coins retained by the Treasury Department at the time of production. This is one of the finest certified, and also the finest that we have handled in at least 15 years.
PCGS# 4637. NGC ID: 239K.
