详细说明

1859-O Seated Liberty Dime. Medium O. MS-68 (NGC). A lustrous, boldly struck, and richly toned gem of the finest order. Pale gold, rose, sea green, and sky blue iridescence dominates the obverse, the reverse largely pale neon blue at the center with pale sea green at the rim. The present specimen is the finest example of the date certified by any major grading service, and rightfully so. The only reward received after diligent magnified scrutiny is a series of tiny obverse die cracks and a hint of die clash at Liberty's shield hand; there are no contact marks of any consequence on either side.&nbsp;Here then is an example of the date that outshines any&nbsp;example currently in any Liberty Seated dime set or Registry Set. Readily available in most grades--480,000 were struck--but of the highest&nbsp;<strong><em>Condition Rarity</em>&nbsp;</strong>at the assigned grade level. Beautiful to behold and worthy of intense bidding activity.&nbsp;
