1862 F-102a Dime, MS66+
Second-Finest at NGC

1862 10C F-102a, R.3, MS66+ NGC. The 1862 has less than half the mintage of the 1861, but the production was nonetheless higher than the next six Philadelphia issues combined. By late 1862, the public hoarded silver coin, and compelled the Federal government to issue fractional currency instead. This brilliant and lustrous Premium Gem is second-finest in an NGC holder, trailing a solitary MS67 specimen. The strike is bold enough that both sides exhibit a wire rim. The preservation is exemplary. Census: 16 in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer (7/22).
