Description

1849-O Small O Dime, MS64
Fortin-102, None Certified Finer

1849-O 10C MS64 NGC. Fortin-102, R.4. Small O. A later die state, with a small, spindly die crack on the reverse over the TA in STATES. This obverse was also paired with at least one Large O reverse die of this issue. This richly toned, navy-gray example boasts lustrous surfaces that reveal hints of cobalt-blue and lilac-gold when tilted beneath a light. The strike is a little soft over the high points (diagnostic of this variety), but all major features are well-impressed.

Variety: Small O, Fortin-102. Obverse 1 with the noticeable die chips around stars 12 and 13 (as well as 3 and 6). Reverse B with the most significant feature being a die crack from the rim along the left inside of the first A in AMERICA and on through the berry stem to the leaf. No sign of a die crack anywhere around the C in AMERICA, but there is another one from the denticles above the E in STATES to the final E. There is also a die scratch in the upper triangle of the final A in AMERICA.

Population Data (5/14): Both NGC and PCGS show three submissions each in MS64 with none finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1849-O, like the 1850-O, 1851-O, and 1852-O, is a low-mintage issue (300,000 pieces) issue that was not preserved in significant numbers.

Consignor Commentary: No coin has been graded higher than MS64 by either NGC or PCGS. This is undoubtedly due to the somewhat flat strike which seems to be universally common to all coins of this date. The current coin is an attractive piece with smooth fields and even gray toning. There are a few stray lines across Liberty's lower lap.

Provenance: Gulf Coast Collection / Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 10/2001), lot 5949.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 238H, PCGS# 4592, Greysheet# 4095)
