Conditionally Rare Gem 1866-S Seated Dime

1866-S 10C MS65 PCGS. The 1866-S is an issue we have offered few times in the past at public auction (nor have any of the other major auction companies, for that matter). The mintage of this issue was 135,000 pieces; however, attrition took a heavy toll, as today it is scarce in all grades and very rare in Mint condition. Only three MS65 coins have been certified between both of the major services, and only two are finer, both at NGC (1/06). This is a median die state, as evidenced by a pronounced die crack from Liberty's ear down her body to the banner on the shield. The softly frosted surfaces are covered with slightly mottled reddish-gray toning on each side, and there are no obvious or distracting marks present. A rare opportunity for the Seated dime specialist.(Registry values: N1)
