Lot 1489
1884 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-68 Star. A superb pristine gem. A perfect totally white coin. With an original mintage of 3.3 million pieces, it is little wonder that the 1884 is popular among type collectors. Only the most advanced type collectors, however, will have the opportunity to acquire an MS68 representative. We have never handled a similarly graded 1884 Seated Dime. Both sides ripple with thick, frosty mint luster. There is not even a single mentionable surface blemish, and the outward appearance is one of radiant brilliance. Thin glowing silvery hue serves to amplify the already bold devices. This is tied with two others for the finest examples known to NGC, and it is matched by a toned MS68 representative at PCGS. NGC #17755760-001. Pop 3; none finer.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
