Description

Partly Toned Superb Gem 1876 Dime

1876 10C MS67 NGC. Type Two Reverse. According to Walter Breen, the new reverse hub was created by William Barber to solve the problem of weak strikes. Breen continued by noting that these new hubs made little difference, but they gave Barber a sense of accomplishment that he was doing something to solve the problem. Liberty Seated expert Brian Greer noted that for the 1876, the Type Two reverse is scarcer than its Type One counterpart. This example is nicely struck and provides scintillating luster. The reverse has prominent clash marks, especially within the wreath. Both the obverse and the reverse have frosty luster with ivory surfaces accented by peripheral rose, blue, lilac, and green. A splendid example, one of the finest known of this issue. Population: 5 in 67, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N1)
