1838-O Liberty Seated Dime. No Stars. Fortin-102. Rarity-3. AU-55 (PCGS). A lovely example of this brief type, from the first year of coinage operations at the New Orleans Mint. Deep sea-green and amber toning adorns the otherwise pearlescent silvery surfaces. Satiny luster remains in the protected areas and the overall complexion is considerably smooth and without distractions. A few trivial blemishes are noted under a glass, with a mark to the right of the mintmark serving as the most convenient identifier. Eagerly sought in all grades, the 1838-O is typically offered in the VG to EF range. Writing for the website seateddimevarieties.com, Gerry Fortin states that the 1838-O is, "A difficult date in AU or better with few Mint State examples known." The offered dime is a conditionally scarce survivor that represents an important find for the advanced numismatist. When we last offered this coin in our sale of January 2013 it had been certified AU-58 (PCGS), asserting the truly choice quality is represents at the current grade. PCGS# 4564. NGC ID: 237T.
