Description
1870-S Dime, Top-Grade MS66
Among the Rarest S-Mint Dimes
1870-S 10C Misplaced Date, F-101, R.3, MS66 PCGS. CAC. The
1870-S is the rarest S-mint issue in the entire Seated dime series
after the 1885-S. Only 50,000 pieces were produced, and this Gem is
in the upper echelon of surviving representatives. Freckled
olive-tan patina overlies richly frosted design features. The
obverse remains more brilliant than the reverse. Boldly defined
devices (apart from a bit of softness on the left wreath leaves)
and minimally marked surfaces round out the broad appeal. A few
roller marks occur over the upper-right obverse. The only known die
variety of the issue (rated High R.6 in Mint State) shows two
misplaced numerals below 87 in the date, which have been of mild
interest to Seated dime specialists in recent years. Population: 5
in 66, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 0 finer (9/16).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 538254, Base PCGS# 4652)
Weight: 2.49 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
