Description
1877 Liberty Seated Dime. Type II Reverse. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.
Offered is a remarkable condition rarity from the otherwise readily obtainable circulation strike 1877 dime issue. Intense satiny luster is seen on surfaces that are as smooth as the day of striking. The strike is sharp with virtually all major design elements fully rendered. Sparkling mint brilliance adds to the appeal of this outstanding coin that will please even the most discerning numismatist. The Specie Payment Resumption Act of January 14, 1875, ushered in a brief period of heightened dime production that lasted into 1878. The 1877 is the third of four high mintage dime deliveries from the Philadelphia Mint during this era, with 7,310,000 circulation strikes being produced, making this a relatively plentiful issue in most grades. However, in the finest Mint State grades, as here, the 1877 emerges as a noteworthy condition rarity. This is certainly a superior quality survivor which has few peers among Legend Obverse Liberty Seated dimes of any issue. An exquisite Superb Gem destined for a fine cabinet.
