 Gem $58000 New April 14! Key Date, Gem Original, Gerry Fortin Collection.. All 1874-CC dimes have a die crack through the mintmark as the prime diagnostic. On this example, the die crack continues through the right wreath and exits to the rim at 2:00. Undoubtedly, the key date in the Liberty Seated Dime series with 10,817 struck. A rarity when considering few strictly original survivors are extant. Nearly all are problematic with porosity or restoration efforts. The Fortin specimen exhibits light to moderate olive golden-gray patination with an ancient mark above DIM(E) being the only anomaly. Of vital importance is the unquestionable originality presenting a multi-decade opportunity for the astute numismatist. F-101 from a single die pair and the plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated Dime Variety Collector online reference. CAC has approved 16 coins in all grades with five finer. The CAC price guide lists $46,100 at the offered graded and $72,000 in AU50. Heritage Auctions, September 2003 Long Beach Sale, Lot #6403. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2002-2004) holder with CAC approval.
