$3250 		Large O, Near-Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. An eye-catching New Orleans Large O mintmark dime with both sides exhibiting near-complete reflective luster with only a trace of light friction. Bold-to-sharp in strike with fully impressed motifs. Under a bright light, the fields present a lightly mirrored appearance with neither toning nor individually mentionable abrasions to report. F-101 with a very high date that has a downward slope. The reverse exhibits die rust damage throughout the wreath, and especially within the bow knot. Utilized as the plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collectors online reference. The CAC census is 28 with four finer and price guide valuation at $2,100, a number that is surprisingly low for the few choice survivors extant. Bowers & Merena, June 2010 Baltimore Auction, Lot #1801. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4594. December 1969
