1859 Dime, Brilliant MS67
One Coin Finer at NGC

1859 10C F-107, R.3, MS67 NGC. This variety shows tiny die chips near stars 2 through 8, 12, and 13. Obverse 7 is the only die with this date placement relative to the shield point. The reverse is perfect. The overabundance of small-denomination silver coins in Atlantic cities helps to explain the relative availability of high-grade P-mint dimes from the mid-to-late 1850s, including the 1859 (429,200 pieces produced). This Superb Gem is brilliant with shimmering luster. Typical strike incompleteness is confined to the right obverse stars, Liberty's head, and right (facing) hand. Eye appeal is outstanding. Census (all varieties): 14 in 67 (1 in 67 ), 1 finer (6/20).
