Description
1870-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-6+. Misplaced Date. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Champagne-tinged and satiny on both sides. The strike is fairly sharp although there is a touch of softness on the upper left wreath and Liberty's head shows partial definition of her hair. Outstanding surface quality with few marks or other blemishes seen even when studied with a strong loupe. Mintage of 50,000 dimes for the year at San Francisco and dismal survival rates ensued; finding more than a handful of survivors may require decades. Gems like this are caviar for the specialist.
PCGS# 4652. NGC ID: 23A3.
PCGS Population: 5; 5 finer (MS-66+ finest). CAC Stickered Population: 4; 4.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's sale of the Sun Tzu Collection, August 2017 Denver ANA Signature Auction, lot 3477.
