Seated Dimes
1867 10C F-102, R.5, MS67 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-102 is the sole die marriage struck for commerce. Only 6,000 pieces were struck, a token production since Gresham's Law and fractional currency drove dimes out of commerce. This is a brilliant, prooflike, and virtually pristine Superb Gem. The dies clashed early during Fortin-102 coinage. They were then removed from service, lapped, and returned to the press. The fields exhibit vertical die lines, as made, and are highly reflective. Despite the lapping, clash marks remain evident on the obverse, especially near Liberty's left (facing) elbow. Population: 4 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 5 in 67, 0 finer (11/16).
