Description

1865-S Seated Dime, MS64
One of Eight Known Mint State Coins
Sole Finest at NGC

1865-S 10C F-101, R.4, MS64 NGC. Extensive circulation, exportation, and melting explain the incredible rarity of this issue in Uncirculated condition, given as High R.7. Only eight examples survive in Mint State from a mintage of 175,000 coins. Such pieces are highly prized and rarely appear at auction.

The issue is notorious for strike softness on Liberty's head and the lower wreath, evident even on this Choice example. Apart from the typical incompleteness, the remaining design features, including the upper wreath, are well-detailed. Mottled crimson, olive, and golden-tan hues intermingle with areas of brilliance. The coin is lightly abraded for the grade with no singularly distracting marks. Given the extreme Mint State rarity, we expect Seated dime specialists to quickly seize this opportunity. Census: 1 in 64, 0 finer (1/16).
Ex: Frog Run Farm Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, 11/2004), lot 602; The Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part IV (Heritage, 10/2015, as MS63 NGC), lot 98266.
