Near-Choice Original, Steven Vitale Collection.. 1856 brought the first year of Liberty Seated dime production at the San Francisco mint. Only 70,000 pieces were struck with essentially all entering western frontier circulation. This date is very rate in Mint State with EF and AU survivors rated as R5+ by Greer and Fortin. This Vitale Collection example exhibits a complete strike with minimally worn device high points. While the reverse is toned a natural copper-gold and has original steely fields, the obverse is more reflective with several lines in the right field. Regardless, this is a desirable example to fill in that difficult "hole" in a date and mintmark set. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. December 1969
