Seated Dimes
1871-CC 10C F-101, R.4, MS62 NGC. This Mint State 1871-CC Seated Liberty dime has been hidden from the current numismatic generation for many years, and we have no provenance information except that it may have appeared in a numismatic auction half-a-century or more ago.
This example exhibits brilliant silver surfaces with a good overall strike, showing weakness only at Liberty's head and the bow on the reverse. Delicate champagne toning resides on the reflective fields with faint blue accents. A small planchet lamination is observed at the left base of Liberty, extending to the border. Diagonal planchet striations on the obverse remain from the minting process. NGC has certified five 1871-CC dime submissions in Mint State grades, and PCGS has examined four such pieces.
We presented a roster of five Mint State coins in our October 2014 Gene Gardner sale, including one piece that has not been seen since 1976. The present piece is not that coin and represents a sixth Mint State example, now residing in the fourth roster position. An abbreviated and updated version of the roster is presented here, with details in the roster of the MS65 example also offered in this sale:
1. MS65 PCGS. Eugene Gardner Collection (Heritage, 10/2014), lot 98271 as MS65 NGC.
2. MS63 PCGS. Battle Born Collection (Stack's-Bowers, 8/2012), lot 11102.
3. MS62 PCGS. Goldberg Coins (6/2014), lot 340.
4. MS62 NGC. The present coin.
5. MS61 NGC. FUN Signature Sale (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 872.
