1907-D Dime, Attractively Toned MS68
Unsurpassable Quality and Eye Appeal

1907-D 10C MS68 NGC. CAC. The 1907-D is much more difficult to locate than its generous production might indicate, with a mintage exceeding 4 million pieces. Indeed, PCGS and NGC combined report only about 200 examples in all levels of preservation. David Lawrence (1991) cites a 1907 account alleging that four wagonloads of dimes leaving the Denver Mint were lost in the Black Canyon (unfortunately, there are no figures on how many dimes comprise a wagonload).

Superb Gem examples such as the current offering are extremely rare. The two grading services have seen just four MS67s and two coins finer, both at NGC. Peripheral cobalt-blue, lavender, and gold-orange toning frames the soft rose-violet centers. The devices are sharply struck and both sides have been well cared for. Registry Set enthusiasts should be aware this coin, with CAC endorsement, is likely the leading candidate. Census: 2 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (1/17).(Registry values: N10218)
