1878-CC Dime, MS65
Semiprooflike and Undisturbed

1878-CC 10C MS65 NGC. Fortin-101, R.4. Type One Reverse. Clear die doubling on the Es in ONE DIME confirms this scarcer Fortin variety.

The present Gem features forest-green and lilac patination over nicely struck, flashy, and minimally marked surfaces. Census: 8 in 65 (2 in 65 ), 11 finer (1/15).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23AR, PCGS# 4686, Greysheet# 4137)
