1837 10C Seated, Small Date MS (PCGS#4562)

The Regency Auction XIV October 2015

详细说明: Exceptional quality for this first year of Liberty Seated Dimes as designed by engraver Christian Gobrecht. The obverse is an elegant concept with Miss Liberty portrayed as a full figure (rather than a bust only) seated on a rock, supporting a shield with one hand and her cap of freedom mounted high on a pole, a symbol of throwing off the shackles of servitude. This one was clearly set aside at the time of issue, with full Mint luster in the fields and toned with attractive antique gray and gold accents around each of the devices. Boldly struck and free of any nicks or cuts, with the fields showing a few tiny scuffs from long ago. Tied with six others at the MS66 or MS66+ level as the finest graded by PCGS. A thin die crack is noted on the reverse through the E of UNITED to the M of DIME. This type with No Stars on the obverse was issued in late 1837 until 1838 on the New Orleans Mint only, then stars were added to the obverse design. PCGS 7, NGC 25. The most recent auction record for this grade is $11,750.00 (6/14) but that coin has thick toning, this handsome piece, which is fresh to the market, should bring more. This coin is being sold with no reserve. Certification Number 25666781 PCGS # 4562
