Description

Difficult Mint State 1861-S Dime

1861-S 10C MS61 NGC. The 1861-S had a relatively low mintage of 172,500 pieces and is consequently scarce in all grades. Mint State examples are particularly elusive, and this minimally marked specimen would make an ideal representative. Soft luster shines beneath pale gray and gold toning. Liberty's head and the tops of the wreath are a trifle weak, as one would expect for the grade. It would be very difficult to find a better example. Census: 5 in 61, 3 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 239G, PCGS# 4634, Greysheet# 4110)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
