FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION This is the FINEST Mint State 1862 dime that exists. There is no question as to its out of this world quality! The numismatic gods and Mother Nature did an incredible job on this amazing GEM. We used a strong glass and looked really hard, and after a long time, all we could find was one small scuff well hidden in the right obverse field. Overall, the surfaces are satiny smooth and are super clean. There are slight traces of semi-prooflike mirrors on the obverse. The luster is strong and glows beautifully all over. A wonderful and mesmerizing swirling rainbow color mix of totally original greens, golds, blues, and purple colors are spread all over. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are sharply struck. The eye appeal is gorgeous! The mintage of dimes dropped by nearly half in 1862 compared to 1861. That said, they are considered common through MS64. The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census begins at MS66 and is topped by this single finest MS67+. A decisive victory at the Battle of Glorieta Pass (March 26-28, 1862) by Union forces under John Slough becomes a definitive moment in the triumph over the Confederacy in New Mexico. Though its tactical importance is debated, it is no doubt that this marked a significant dismissal of Southern influence in the American West before the rapid population boom in the region following the war. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This is the ONLY MS67+ graded. It is more than worthy of inclusion in this Hall Of Fame Civil War Collection. There are no published price guides. Keep in mind, our estimate is for a coin that has never traded publicly at auction. Our numbers are what we think would be high WHOLESALE. We expect major interest in this FINEST KNOWN piece not only from Civil War collectors but also Mint State Seated Dime enthusiasts. This is also a coin that belongs in a "box of 20"! We fully expect this coin to set a world record price. Good luck! Cert. Number 3299550 PCGS # 4635
