Description
1852-O Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-102. Rarity-5. MS-62 (PCGS).
Sharply struck by New Orleans Mint standards, both sides are also fully lustrous with a lively satin finish. What one's eye is greeted by first, however, is exceptionally vivid and attractive toning. The obverse exhibits mottled champagne-apricot, antique silver and powder blue, while the reverse shows a target-like distribution to reddish-gold, cobalt blue and rose-apricot iridescence. The mintage of the 1852-O dime is 430,000 pieces, many of which were melted as the Gold Rush in California upset the delicate balance between gold and silver in the world market. This one ranks among the most visually appealing Mint State survivors that we have ever handled.
PCGS# 4598. NGC ID: 238P.
PCGS Population: 5; 14 finer (MS-64 finest).
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage's FUN Signature Auction of January 2012, lot 5467; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction 47, September 2021, lot 236.
