1841-O Fortin-106 Dime, MS64
Small O, Open Bud

1841-O 10C Small O, F-106, R.2, MS64 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Cherry-red, sea-green, peach-gold, and gunmetal toning endows this satiny and fully struck near-Gem. Both sides are minimally marked for the MS64 level, with a strong lens required to locate even the slightest field chatter. As with most 1841-O varieties, the reverse displays an open bud and a small O mintmark. Radial die cracks near the U in UNITED and the I in AMERICA identify the reverse die. The date location confirms the Fortin die marriage. Fortin notes "a die crack from star 6 through star 7 and into Liberty's head," but the present piece is from an earlier die state and lacks that crack. An early New Orleans issue, the 1841-O can be located with little difficulty in Very Fine and lower grades. Uncirculated examples are very scarce, and the issue is rare in present combination of strike, preservation, and attractive patina. Population: 5 in 64, 4 finer. CAC: 4 in 64, 3 finer (7/22).
