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).
