Description

1862 Dime, Vividly Toned MS66
Top-Notch Type Coin

1862 10C MS66 NGC. Fortin-109. Vivid sunset-orange, electric-blue, and amber-gold toning on each side make this well-preserved coin a treat for toning enthusiasts and a top-notch type coin.

Variety: Fortin-109. The sole diagnostic for this variety is the position of the date, level and somewhat further right in relation to the shield than the other varieties of this date.

Population Data (7/14): NGC and PCGS combined show 30 submissions in MS66 (including two MS66+) and three MS67 finer.

Heritage Commentary: This Civil War-era issue saw a mintage of 847,000 pieces during a time when many silver coins were hoarded and/or exported to Canada, to be reimported after parity was achieved again in 1879. We suspect that as the source of some of today's high-grade 1862 Seated dimes.

Consignor Commentary: One of the most common dates in the series, rated only R.3 in Mint State. The toning gives the coin good eye appeal, but the strike is a bit soft on the upper-left reverse.

Provenance: Purchased from Laura Sperber at Legend Numismatics (5/2005).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 239H, PCGS# 4635, Greysheet# 4055)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
