1888 Seated Dime, MS67
Fortin-107, Tied for Finest Certified

1888 10C Misplaced Date, F-107, R.3, MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Misplaced date digits in the shield confirm the variety, though faint clash marks and spindly die cracks on the reverse suggest an unlisted late die state. Die cracks cover a good part of the circumference of the coin on the obverse: from Liberty's head to the O in OF; from the CA to Liberty's foot; and from the bottom of the numerals in the date to the U in UNITED. On the reverse there is a more serious one from the rim at 7 o'clock up along the sides of the leaves and back to the rim at 9:30.

With a mintage of more than 5.4 million pieces, the 1888 dime is usually obtainable in most Mint State grades but is rare at the Superb Gem level. This virtually perfect piece displays above-average design definition, with vibrant, frosty luster beneath iridescent green-gold and violet-amber hues. PCGS shows two MS67 coins, while NGC shows one in that grade. None are finer (7/22).
