Description

1846 Dime, AU58
One of the Finest Known

1846 10C AU58 NGC. Fortin-101. This is an exceptionally rare date in any grade above VG, although a small number of proof examples are also known. It seems that the middle and higher range of circulated coins are seldom seen, and Mint State examples are extremely rare. The combined population of both PCGS and NGC, for example, include 203 coins with an average grade of "VF24.6." Keep in mind that the grading service population data is always biased toward the higher grades, and one can gain a better appreciation for the importance of this offering. This example is bettered by only one example certified by NGC for this date, while two submissions at PCGS have received a higher Mint State grade, and probably represent a single coin. This is a pleasing example of the date with light silver surfaces and reflective fields. The obverse has peripheral gold toning and the reverse has splashes of gold and sky blue color. Census: 1 in 58, 1 finer (11/14).
