Description
Outstanding MS68 ★ 1887 Dime
1887 10C MS68 ★ NGC. In the entire Seated dime series from 1837 to 1891, NGC has only certified 15 coins as MS68 ★ , only two finer MS69 pieces, and one MS69 ★ . PCGS has graded another 22 MS68 examples, but only one MS69. It seems safe to suggest that this beauty is one of the finest Seated dimes, regardless of date.A few faint clash marks and die cracks are faintly visible. Both sides have exceptional mint frost with ivory luster, accented by peripheral lilac, sea-green, and gold. The strike is bold, and this dime presents exceptional aesthetic appeal. Census: 2 in 68 ★ , 0 finer (7/08).
