Lot 1255
1856-S. PCGS graded MS-63 CAC Approved. Well struck and mostly untoned. A Premium Quality coin. Sharply struck, brilliant, and beautiful. This 1856-S dime is one of the very finest in existence. Only 70,000 were struck in 1856, this being the first year that the dime denomination was produced at San Francisco. There is no record of even a single example being intentionally saved by a numismatist. For that reason, virtually all have vanished over the years, and most of the few remaining are very much worn. The present coin is incredible in its importance, beauty and aspect, combining a numerical grade and, far more momentous (in our opinion), commanding eye appeal without peer. This certainly is a "must have" MS63 1856-S Seated Dime for an advanced collector! Pop 3; 2 in 64, 1 in 65. (PCGS # 4613) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
