$12011 		Large Stars, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. This 1838 Large Stars lot initiates the release of Gold CAC approved dimes within the Fortin Collection. Though overshadowed by three significantly shattered obverse dies, the F-104 obverse is also a compelling study with bold die crack through the rock and shield along with a second through star 9 and into the right field. This example radiates frosted luster from undisturbed surfaces with pastel sea-green and golden toning on the obverse and sky blue hues on the reverse. Cartwheels are equally impressive. Acquired during May, 2003 from the popular Teletrade platform. With its Gold CAC bean, this dime has claims to the condition census as the CAC population is 7 total at the MS66 and MS67 grades with a fair reserve set accordingly. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) Gold Shield holder with Gold CAC approval. PCGS #4568. December 1969
