Market Acceptable, Palos Verdes Collection.. The 1843-O dime is a well-known condition rarity that is challenging in EF and above. Indeed, of the 213 pieces certified at PCGS, their census counts only two MS coins, four AU examples, and 15 pieces at the EF level. This near-EF coin reveals bright, uniformly gray color that is indicative of a past cleaning, with retoning evident among the obverse stars. F-101, the only die pair for this issue, with a high, level date. The strike is typical for the issue, with a soft head and bow. The New Orleans Mint struggled to produce consistently sharp strikes in this era, and this effect is seen across all denominations. The PCGS price guide value is $2,750, advancing to $4,000 in EF40. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2023) holder. December 1969
