Description

1867-S Dime, Fortin-101, MS65
Extremely Rare in Mint State

1867-S 10C MS65 NGC. Fortin-101, R.4. This Gem displays deep blue-gray hues over each side, with pale lavender and golden accents throughout. The strike is unusually sharp for the issue, with the only area of mentionable weakness seen on the upper-left wreath.

Variety: Fortin-101, from the position of the date.

Population Data (5/14): There are five MS65s (three at NGC, two at PCGS), bettered by just two coins at NGC, one MS66 and one MS67.

Heritage Commentary: The 1867-S dime is moderately scarce in lower circulated grades but becomes genuinely rare beyond the VF grade level, with Mint State pieces particularly challenging.

Consignor Commentary: An R.7 coin in Mint State, and Gems are even scarcer. The only distinguishing feature on this coin is a die crack on the obverse from Liberty's knee through the E in AMERICA to the denticles. One dark spot on the obverse above the N in UNITED. Otherwise the toning is attractive especially on the reverse.

Provenance: Purchased from Ken Goldberg (1/2003). (Registry values: N2998)

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

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
Weight: 2.49 grams
ASW: 0.08oz
Mintage: 140,000
