Description
1857-O Seated Dime, MS66
Well-Struck Fortin-106 Example
1857-O 10C MS66 NGC. Fortin-106. Intermingled peach and rose
toning leads to deeper blue at the rims. The design elements are
deeply impressed, showing fully detailed stars and bold
lettering.Variety: The Fortin-106 dime features a level date, vertically positioned in the middle of the field beneath Liberty. The 5 in the date is open. The most distinct feature of the variety is the obverse rim weakness between 4 and 7 o'clock. The corresponding portion of the reverse reveals similarly weak dentils, though to a lesser extent.
Population Data (4/15): NGC shows 15 submissions in MS66 (one MS66+) with eight finer -- seven MS67, one MS68. PCGS reports 15 submissions in MS66 (one in MS66+) and two MS67 finer.
Heritage Commentary: All 1857 and 1857-O Seated dimes display a slight defect under the flag of 1 in the date, which is sometimes misinterpreted as a repunched digit.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 238Y, PCGS# 4615, Greysheet# 4103)
