Elegant AU50 1843-O Dime

1843-O 10C AU50 PCGS. CAC. Along with the 1860-O, the only date to have a lower mintage (40,000 pieces versus 150,000 coins), the 1843-O is one of the two most challenging dates in the antebellum New Orleans Seated dime series. The previous year had seen a 2-million-plus mintage for the mint and denomination, but demand for small silver must have eased tremendously in this transition year for the mint. Still, virtually all known examples went into circulation, and even a lightly worn AU50 coin is a major condition rarity. This is one such coin, toned blue, violet, and golden-bronze with deeper hues on the still-lustrous reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
