Singular Gem 1842-O Dime

1842-O 10C MS65 PCGS. CAC. As the sole finest representative of this earlier O-mint issue certified by PCGS (7/10), this is a coin of undeniable importance to the discerning Seated dime collector. While more than 2 million of the pieces were struck, most were worn down by the nonstop commerce of the Southern port city, and any Mint State survivor is a rarity today.
This is not merely an unworn coin, but a Gem. Rose and silver shadings are prominent at the satiny centers, while deep blues and greens are splashed at the margins. It is well-defined for the era, with most stars showing clear interior lines, and the surface preservation is delightful.(Registry values: N7079)
