Description
1869 Seated Dime, MS67
Sole CAC Coin in This Grade
1869 10C MS67 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-105. Beautifully toned in
shades of gray and lavender on the obverse and gray, steel-blue,
and lavender on the reverse, accented with a slice of soft ice-blue
along the left margin. Sharply struck devices and impeccably
preserved surfaces round out the outstanding eye appeal.Variety: Fortin-105, R.3, struck from proof dies.
Population (3/15): PCGS and NGC each report four pieces in MS67 and none finer. This MS67 PCGS coin is the sole example in this grade with the green CAC endorsement.
Heritage Commentary: Seated dime author Brian Greer wrote in his series reference, " ... this date is scarcer than its mintage (256,000 pieces) implies. Quite scarce in mint state."
Consignor Commentary: The many beautiful colors are quite attractive. Greer (1992) rates the coin a Low R.6 in Mint State.
Provenance: Purchased from RARCOA (3/2001). (Registry values: N1)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 239Y, PCGS# 4649, Greysheet# 4062)
