1862 Seated Liberty Dime, MS66+
In-Demand Civil War Date

1862 10C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. While the mintage for the 1862 dime was large with 847,000 struck for circulation, one has to assume most were hoarded during the War and many others were exported and subsequently melted. As a result, only 12 other pieces have been certified as MS66 by PCGS with two finer (9/11). This is the only Plus coin certified in any grade. This all-white example has striated fields which account for the bright, semireflective finish seen on each side. The strike is sharp, but not quite complete over the high points. A truly impressive specimen of this Civil War issue.(Registry values: N1793)
