Description

1875 Seated Dime, MS66
Marvelous Prooflike Surfaces

1875 10C MS66 NGC. CAC. F-120. Unquestionable field reflectivity and a thick layer of frost over the design motifs gives this Premium Gem a splendid prooflike appearance. Blended violet and cobalt-blue tones enhance the visual appeal. Liberty's head and the bowknot are softly impressed. A small tick on Liberty's knee will serve as a pedigree marker in future sales. Housed in an NGC no-line fatty holder.

Variety: Fortin-120. Obverse 17 has the date positioned furthest left among all head dies for the issue, facilitating the attribution process. Fortin also notes that this is a "prooflike dime variety."

Population Data (9/15): This is one of 43 Premium Gems at NGC (three in MS66 ★ ) with 10 submissions finer.

Heritage Commentary: Dime production eclipsed the 10 million-coin mark for the first time in 1875. High-end representatives such as this are available and popularly sought-after for type purposes, although finer examples are very rarely seen.

Provenance: Lake Michigan & Springdale Collections (American Numismatic Rarities, 6/2006), lot 1259.(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23AC, PCGS# 4672, Greysheet# 4071)
