Description
1849 Dime, Seldom-Seen PR64
Elusive in Any Grade
1849 10C PR64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Perhaps six examples
exist today of the 1849 dime, a recognized yet controversial rarity
within the series due to the ongoing discussion on "exactly what
that is beneath the 8," some voting for an 8, others for a 6, some
for a repunched 9. Gerry Fortin makes a convincing case for the
issue not being an 1849/8, given the reduction in size of the date
logotypes from 1848 (larger) to 1849 (considerably smaller). He
writes, " I have chosen to list the proof Obverse 5 die as a
repunched 9 consistent with the Stack's observations from the Floyd
Starr coin." (Stack's, 10/1992, lot 366).This is a lustrous piece with a light gold cast alternating with silver areas dotted with light gray and copper-gold. The proof strike is full on both sides, and there are no singular marks on this piece, a high-end piece for the grade. Population: 1 in 64, 2 finer (12/14).
