Original MS62 1867-S Dime
Fortin-102, Rare in Mint State

1867-S 10C MS62 PCGS. Fortin-102. The left flag of the 1 is right of the shield point, and the pendant is left of the center of the 6. The mintage of the 1867-S dime was only 120,000 pieces, and most of those likely circulated in the West, where the tradition of hard money was alive and well after the Civil War. Greer's series reference notes the issue is rare in Mint State.
This piece offers original pinkish-gold toning with glints of ice-blue near the rims on each side. The A in STATES is nearly filled in, and the peripheral strike is fairly soft at the bowknot and the upper left wreath, where an interesting raised die line appears. Marks are minimal, however, and the originality and eye appeal mark this coin as a prize for the specialist.(Registry values: N1793)
