1871 Dime, Impressive MS66
Good Eye Appeal

1871 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-102a. Pearl-gray iridescence occasionally concedes to cobalt-blue and olive-green, the latter color palette showing more presence on the reverse. This satiny and well-struck Premium Gem has undisturbed fields and impressive eye appeal, aptly recognized by CAC.

Variety: Fortin-102a, R.3. Attributed by a level date and a die crack across bottoms of the ribbons that extends into the right (facing) wreath.

Population Data (7/14): The present Premium Gem is one of the seven finest graded by that service. NGC has seen six MS66s and one finer.

Heritage Commentary: More than 900,000 coins struck. This issue is scarce in circulated grades. Uncirculated coins are very challenging in all grades.

Consignor Commentary: While there is no doubt about its Mint State status, the coin has the sharpness and detail of a proof strike. This Premium Gem shows attractive toning and good eye appeal.

Provenance: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 877.(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23A4, PCGS# 4653, Greysheet# 4064)
