Lot 2148
1847 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-65. A condition rarity in this gem grade that is simply exquisite. The strike is sharp on the obverse stars and devices, and similar on the reverse but we do note a trace of weakness on the first S of STATES and the cluster of leaves below. Toned with deep blue and dark gold on both sides, with pristine surfaces throughout. Identifiable by a tiny tick located in the field inside the twelfth star. High in the condition census for the date, this is the finest graded by NGC, and alone in that category, and similar at PCGS, where none have been graded as MS-65, but a single coin resides at the top of census as MS-66 graded by that service. A truly scarce date despite the mintage, especially in upper grades.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
