Elusive 1866 Seated Dime, MS66

1866 10C MS66 NGC. An elusive Mint State example, and one of only 8,000 pieces produced. Few business strikes survive today, especially in high grades. This specimen is deeply and originally toned on the obverse and reverse in electric-blue, golden-gray, and purple-red shades. The striking details are bold throughout, and both sides of the coin are free of significant blemishes. Interestingly, both proof and Mint State 1866 dimes were struck from the same dies. Census: 6 in 66, 3 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N1)
