Desirable 1849 Repunched Date Dime, MS66

1849 10C MS66 PCGS Secure. Fortin-104. Walter Breen called this variety (#3257) a "Concealed Overdate" with the repunching visible in the upper loops of the 8 and 9. Brian Greer and Gerry Fortin both consider the variety to be a Repunched Date. We agree with Greer and Fortin. However, it is an extremely interesting and desirable repunched date, with the first impression about 25% lower than the final position. Fortin considers this a Top 100 Variety as seateddimevarieties.com. He suggests a 100 to 200% premium over standard values.
In addition to its desirability as a Repunched Date variety, this piece is also one of the finest existing 1849 dimes of any variety. PCGS and NGC have combined to certify just four pieces in MS66, with none finer. This example has bold design features and satiny luster beneath a thin veil of champagne toning. The surfaces are virtually flawless. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (8/10).
