Description
Formidable Superb Gem 1891-O Dime
Single Finest NGC-Certified
1891-O 10C MS67 NGC. Immaculate and coruscating with light
stone-gray toning. New Orleans struck dimes in only two years of
the Legend Obverse type: the first, 1860, and the last, 1891. For
the three decades in between, the Civil War, reconstruction, and
heavy silver dollar coinages all kept the Southernmost branch mint
from striking silver dimes. When production finally returned in
1891, the mintage of 4.54 million should have allowed a number to
survive in Superb Gem, but nearly all went into commerce, and few
were saved as souvenirs. The present piece is the sole MS67 at NGC.
PCGS has also certified one as MS67 with none finer, and we sold
that coin for $8,912.50 in a 2003 internet auction.(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23BE, PCGS# 4707, Greysheet# 4145)
