1850-O 10C MS (PCGS#4594)

March 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1850-O Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101. Rarity-4. Large O. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. This pretty coin displays splashes of iridescent reddish-gold toning that are boldest at the borders. The satiny surfaces are very smooth for the assigned grade and support a superior strike for an early New Orleans Mint dime. Otherwise boldly defined, softness of detail over the lower right obverse and upper right reverse is noted for accuracy. A respectable (for the era) mintage of 510,000 pieces conceals the scarcity of the 1850-O in numismatic circles, especially in grades of EF and higher. Heavy circulation and melting by speculators claimed the vast majority of coins produced. Most Mint State survivors are from the Fortin-101 die pairing, as here, and they are eagerly sought by advanced collectors of both Liberty Seated and New Orleans Mint coinage. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the R.L. Miles, Jr. Collection, Part II, April 1969, lot 666. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 1; 8 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 4594. NGC ID: 238K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
