Description

1860 Dime, Clean MS66
First Legend Obverse Issue

1860 10C Doubled Die Reverse, F-101a, R.4, MS66 NGC. Slightly soft on Liberty's head, but well-detailed elsewhere, this carefully preserved Premium Gem displays lovely original toning. The effect appears more dramatic on the reverse, showing deep hues of copper-gold and cobalt-blue. A small mark below the second S in STATES is the only minor blemish on either side of this otherwise flawless coin. Minor clash marks appear throughout.

Variety: Fortin-101a, showing a medium, downward-sloping date. Horizontal die lines occur within Liberty's shield starting from the sixth vertical stripe.

Population Data (9/15): Both services report nearly identical certified populations. NGC shows 10 examples in MS66 and three finer, while PCGS lists 11 coins in MS66 with three finer.

Heritage Commentary: This is the first Philadelphia issue of the Legend on Obverse type, claiming a sizeable mintage of 606,000 coins. Locating a finer example will undoubtedly prove challenging, as the production total belies the true availability of high-grade coins.

Provenance: ANA Signature (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 406.

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 538148, Base PCGS# 4631)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
