Description
1849 Dime, Sharply Struck MS65
Fortin-104 Variety
1849 10C MS65 NGC. Fortin-104, R.4. In the past this variety
has been called an 1849/8, but it now appears that the final digit
is punched over a previously punched 9. This is the most
significant variety of the seven die pairings known from this year.
All variants of the 1849 dime are challenging in mint condition,
and very elusive in Gem and finer. In fact, NGC and PCGS have
graded only eight MS65s and four coins higher. This may well be the
finest example known of this variety. Violet, lavender, and
greenish-yellow toning adheres to the lustrous surfaces of this
Gem. The design elements are better-defined than ordinarily seen,
especially on Liberty's head and the reverse bow knot and leaves,
areas normally weak. Census: 7 in 65, 3 finer (10/13).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 238G, PCGS# 4591, Greysheet# 4040)

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
