1856-O Seated Liberty Dime. PCGS graded MS-62 In special PCGS Ship of Gold holder which contains One Pinch of Gold Dust recovered from the S.S. Central America treasure.
Special PCGS number 686778.62/38277437.
Frosty, well struck and untoned. There was a modest group of 1856-O dimes recovered from a safe aboard the S.S. Central America intended to pay the crew upon arrival in New York. The contents of the safe were mostly dimes, which were purchased in New Orleans in 1857. Thus many were likely New Orleans coins like this one. An historic relic that will always have a great story to tell. Pop 7; 3 finer at PCGS for the S.S. Central America Series, 1 in 63, 1 in 62. Estimated Value $700 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America, 2014 Recovery from Purser's Safe.


 
Realized $1,170
