Description

Near-Gem 1867-S Dime
Postwar Condition Rarity

1867-S 10C MS64 PCGS. CAC. Delicate green-to-gold toning dances over parts of the pale gray obverse, while the reverse has streaks of sage at the upper zones. Detail is above-average for this earlier California issue and semireflective peripheral luster is an eye-catching bonus. As a near-Gem, this is a conditionally rare example of an issue that survived mostly in low grades, if at all, despite a mintage of 140,000 pieces; in the first few decades of the American California economy, production of minor silver seldom met the local demand. Population: 4 in 64, 2 finer (6/12).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 239V, PCGS# 4646, Greysheet# 4116)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
