1845 Dime, Flashy Premium Gem

1845 10C F-108, R.3, MS66 NGC. This flashy Premium Gem shows strong definition on Liberty's head and the wreath. Only a few of the right obverse stars display a touch of softness. Lively luster combines with a medium coating of reddish-golden toning on the obverse and attractive turquoise-blue patina on the reverse. A lovely piece and a rare find this nice.

Variety: Fortin-108. This variety pairs Obverse 5 with Reverse G. All digits in the date are repunched. The reverse shows die clash marks in (D)IME and a die crack from the rim through I in UNITED.

Population Data (9/15): NGC reports five examples in MS66 (one in MS66 ★ ) with three finer. The finest examples at PCGS are four submissions in MS66, including one MS66+.

Heritage Commentary: Like the other "common" Seated dimes of the 1840s, this issue (1.7 million coins struck) falls off markedly in availability above the near-Gem level. This piece grades almost 10 points higher than the average certified representative.

Provenance: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 6558; purchased from Jason Carter (11/2004).

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 537830, Base PCGS# 4586)

Weight: 2.67 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
