Lot 1299
1856-O Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-65. NGC holder 1951292-012. A nice strike with toning around the edges. Large O. The final two digits in the date are dramatically repunched north. Mint records tell us there were 1.1 million 1856-O Dimes made; all the same, this date is infrequently seen in either the higher circulated grades, and rarely found Mint State. Lovely deep brown toning permeates both sides with its color around the main devices and legends. Deep in saturation, that is, but not extensively affecting the underlying silvery luster. Fully struck and rough-hewn in luster texture, the surfaces are distraction-free save for a few minuscule marks above DIME on the reverse. Pop 5; none finer.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
