Description

1861 Legend Obverse Dime, MS66
Fortin-103 Variety

1861 10C MS66 NGC. Fortin-103, R.4. Boldly struck and lustrous with nearly mark-free surfaces and mottled gold and cobalt-blue toning.

Variety: Fortin-103, R.4.

Population Data (5/14): NGC shows 13 MS66 (including one Star and one Plus) with two MS67 finer. PCGS has graded six in MS66 with none finer.

Heritage Commentary: A generous mintage from near the beginning of the Legend Obverse coinage, which ran from 1861-73.

Consignor Commentary: F-103. An undistinguished coin whose variety can only be determined by the position of its date. Obviously a Type 1 as only vertical line 8 (and not 7) extends upward over the scroll. The dies are unclashed, and that means it is simply a choice between F-103 and F-104. And after some study I came down in favor of F-103. Not the strongest coin in the set, as the obverse sports a number of freckles which detract from its eye appeal. One might think the date to be common, but it is tough in Gem.

Provenance: Charlotte ANA Signature (Heritage, 3/2003), lot 5532.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 239F, PCGS# 4633, Greysheet# 4054)
