- A pulchritudinous GEM 1864 dime! Struck during the height of the Civil War, the mintage of dimes, like the mintages of many coins in Philadelphia were low. Only 11,000 dimes were struck for circulation, and most of them did just that. A precious few were saved by happenstance. Brilliantly watery, semi-PL mint luster shines under multi-hued rainbow toning. Awe inspiring colors are a gift of Mother Nature, which rarely does her best work on rare date issues. Fabulous blues, reds, golds, greens, and purples blend together quite nicely on both the obverse and reverse. A light mark can be noted under a close inspection with a strong glass in the right obverse field, otherwise both sides are free of any distractions. Adding to the superb eye appeal is the bold strike, which crisply rendered the devices on both sides. PCGS 3, NGC 4. There are four coins graded finer at PCGS. This is not one of the two coins that have been sold in auction. The most recent PCGS MS66 sold in our December 2016 Regency Auction, but that coin did NOT have anywhere close to the eye appeal of the presently offered GEM. Before that, the only PCGS coin to sell was a CAC approved one that brought $17,625 in the June 2014 auction of the Gene Gardner Collection. A similarly attractive NGC MS66+ sold in November 2012 for $20,092. Currently the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,500. This coin should bring a premium bid from the Seated Dime specialist looking to add one of the finest 1864 dimes that exists. Opportunity knocks loudly here. PCGS # 4639 Cert.
