Seated Dimes
1837 10C No Stars, Large Date, F-101b, R.2, MS65 ★ NGC. CAC. This piece is in the early stages of the die state, showing the radial crack from the obverse rim at 4 o'clock but not the other at 7 o'clock. The fields are semiprooflike, and the sharpness of the strike is outstanding; a partial wire rim surrounds each periphery. Silvery interiors cede to original lavender, sea-green, and yellow-gold toning in the margins. Census: 28 in 65 (2 in 65 Star), 32 finer. CAC: 16 in 65, 4 finer (8/17).
