Exquisite Choice 1851 Dime

1851 10C MS64 NGC. Fortin-105a, R.3 with repunching on the bases of the 851. The top of a 1 is misplaced on the lower left border of the shield. Lustrous and unabraded with iridescent honey-gold, orange, and lilac toning. Nicely struck with minor blending on Liberty's hair and the left ribbon. Silver coins were valued above face in 1851, which undoubtedly contributes to the conditional rarity. Encased in an early generation holder. Census: 11 in 64, 2 finer (4/08).
