1841-O Fortin-104 Dime, MS62
Scarce Medium O Mintmark

1841-O 10C MS62 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-104. Light to medium steel-gray and almond-gold blend throughout this crisply struck New Orleans dime. The third-party grade appears conservative, as there are no obvious marks.

Variety: Fortin-104. Open Bud. One of only two Medium O die pairs for the 1841-O. A die crack between the ES in STATES and a clash mark near the M in DIME provide further identification. The 4 in the date is centered above a dentil.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS lists five MS62 and 10 finer. NGC shows four MS62 with 13 finer. However, most of those coins are likely the Small O variety. The Medium O census is unknown but certainly significantly smaller.

Heritage Commentary: Many Seated collectors currently pursue only those varieties listed in the Guide Book. In the future, though, mintmark size distinctions, such as the Small O and Medium O, may be widely collected with the scarcer mintmark sizes in demand.

Provenance: Public Auction Sale (Stack's, 3/1999), lot 565, where it was cataloged as "Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated."(Registry values: N1793)
