Lewis Adelbert Hadley (1870-1951) 的钱币相册
The 1870 Three-Cent Nickel mimics the 1869, as both have similar mintages and nearly identical populations and grade distributions among the coins graded by PCGS. The most frequently-seen grade is MS-64, just slightly ahead of MS-63. The finest examples are fifteen at the MS66 level. Clashmarks are less frequent on this date than they are on the 1869, but the strike is equally as nice. Collectors should attempt to find examples that show as many of the vertical lines as possible on the reverse.
The 1870 Liberty Seated Half Dime has one of the higher mintages in the series. However, despite it's very large mintage, a very small amount of coins have been confirmed to exist compared to its original mintage. The PCGS CoinFacts Rarity estimates about 1,000 examples exist, making it very scarce in all grades. In MS67 or higher it is considered rare, as very few examples exist in this condition.
The 1870 Dime is a common coin, though it is not nearly as plentiful as some of the other large-mintage dates of later years. Nonetheless, it is an affordable date in most grades. The typical Mint State 1870 Dime is MS63, with MS64 a close second. Gems are available -- for a price - but none are known in MS67. Gerry Fortin, who specializes in Liberty Seated Dimes, has identified six different die pairs (actually seven, but one [F-102] appears to have been delisted). One die pair is Proof-only, another was used to strike both Proofs and Mint State examples.
