1875 Seated Dime, Fully Toned MS67
Candidate for a High-Grade Type Set
Among the Finest Certified

1875 10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-118. This delightful Superb Gem is sure to find a well-deserved place in the finest of type collections. Though each side exhibits minor softness on the peripheral devices, the glowing and practically perfect surfaces command far more attention. Sapphire and dusty rose patina covers most of the piece, while glints of mint-green and pale-orange grace the margins. Housed in an old green label holder.

Variety: Fortin-118. Obverse 15 shows a medium, slightly downward-sloping date. Reverse R is perfect.

Population Data (3/15): The finest certified are five submissions at PCGS and nine at NGC.

Heritage Commentary: This is the first Seated dime issue with the arrows removed and the weight of 2.50 grams. The Mint struck in excess of 10.3 million coins, and the date is a popular one for type purposes. Examples as fine as this are very rare.

Consignor Commentary: With 25 varieties listed in Fortin, it took a while to pinpoint this one, mainly because the salient feature of this variety is a perfect strike with no die clashing or die cracks or other identifying marks. Though PCGS has seen a few MS67 submissions, this coin's toning makes it lovely to view.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23AC, PCGS# 4672, Greysheet# 4071)
