Description
1891-O Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-Unlisted. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
This is the final year of issue of the Liberty Seated design, and the first issue of dimes from the New Orleans Mint since 1860. Both the obverse and reverse are beautifully toned around the peripheries in iridescent reddish-gold and cobalt blue. Copious mint frost over the devices gives way to glistening semi-reflectivity in the fields. Despite the plentiful mintage of 4,540,000 pieces, this offering is one of the finest seen by PCGS and CAC and, as such, is worthy of strong bids.
PCGS# 4707. NGC ID: 23BE.
PCGS Population: 16; 5 finer (MS-67 finest). CAC Stickered Population: 10; 0.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's FUN Signature Auction o January 2014, lot 3996; Tom Bender; Heritage's sale of the Bender Family Collection, Part II, January 2023 FUN Signature Auction, lot 3395.
