Seated Dimes
1859 10C F-105, R.2, MS66+ NGC. CAC. Uncirculated 1859 Seated dimes are more or less evenly distributed throughout the MS62 to MS67 grades, although the pieces at the upper end of this spectrum draw significantly more collector demand than those at the lower. The present high-end Premium Gem example displays brilliant, glowing mint luster and razor-sharp detail. No mentionable abrasions distract from the eye appeal. Census: 15 in 66 (2 in 66+), 17 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 9 finer (11/16).
