- 1840-O Liberty Seated Dime. No Drapery. Fortin-106. Rarity-5+. Medium O. AU-58 (NGC). This pleasingly toned example exhibits mottled steel and champagne-apricot iridescence on the obverse, while the reverse has encircling halos of cobalt blue and rose-red around the periphery. Both sides retain ample satin luster, an otherwise sharp strike coming up short at the shield and in the opposing area within the upper left of the wreath, typical of the die pairing. An eagerly sought variety among Liberty Seated dime enthusiasts, Fortin-106 is the only Medium O die pairing of the 1840-O No Drapery issue. On his website seateddimevarieties.com, Gerry Fortin suggests that examples are worth a 30-50% premium. Of course, as an issue the 1840-O No Drapery is conditionally challenging and difficult to locate in grades above VF. A significant bidding opportunity for the advanced collector. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. PCGS# 4574. NGC ID: 2382. Click here for certification details from NGC.
