Lot 2146
1841 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-67. Absolutely glorious concentric ringed rainbow toning on both the obverse and reverse. While the grade alone should be worth celebrating, one must truly get out the trumpets and sound off about the toning here. This one obviously was carefully preserved from the time of issue, and placed in a sulfur type coin album, likely a Wayte Raymond National Pages or something similar for at least two decades which would be required to develop toning like this. The out ring is bright yellow gold, next is blue, then reddish gold fading to light gold at the centers. Perfectly centered rings of color, overlayed on a nearly perfect coin. Throw away the bid price if you expect to purchase this stunning coin. NGC has graded only 1 as such, with a single coin graded higher of this date.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
