Seated Dimes
1854 10C Arrows, F-102, High R.4, MS65 NGC. Ex: Highland Collection. A vertical die defect in Liberty's lap is diagnostic of the variety. This Gem example is frosted and lustrous over lightly iridescent silver surfaces. The strike is sharp with minimal die erosion that typifies the issue. We note some deeper toning and build-up on the reverse legend, although abrasions are nearly absent throughout both sides. Census: 21 in 65, 23 finer (10/17).
