 Gem $15500 New March 30! Finest Micro S Known, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. After careful research of all CoinFacts auctions records dating back to 2005, this F-101 Micro S dime is the finest known for its variety. Recent sales of MS66/MS66+ examples via Gardner, Bender, and others have been exclusively the F-102 Small S with a weakly hubbed reverse or the F-102a with late die state die erosion. An impressively lustrous example under bright light with spinning cartwheels and light golden-brown patination with pristine surfaces. Essentially fully struck though the left wreath devices are weakly hubbed, an issue for both 1874-S reverse dies. As with many other Fortin lots in this GFRC event, this coin has been employed as the plate within the Fortin Liberty Seated Dime online reference. CAC reports 18 approved examples in all grades with none finer. Acquired August 2009 via Carter Numismatics. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval and no upgrade attempts for a (+) designation. PCGS #4670.
