Description

Fully Struck 1852 Dime, MS66

1852 10C MS66 NGC. The silver coins of the early 1850s are much rarer than their mintages indicate, due to their silver content that exceeded face value. Brian Greer notes, however, that the smaller silver coins were affected less than the larger ones. This piece offers subdued luster over pristine, pinkish-gray surfaces. A bold obverse die crack runs from the rim below star 13 to Liberty's calf, and an obvious patch of raised die lines appears on her left (facing) thigh. A couple of tiny ticks show in the left obverse field, and two small patches of die grease occur on the reverse. The strike is full. Census: 6 in 66, 1 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N1)
