$560 		Date Farthest Left Die Pairing, Gem Eye Appeal, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Dancing Cartwheels. Brilliant frosted luster is readily apparent the moment that I placed this near-gem 1890 F-115 dime under a bright. The overall eye appeal is at the full gem level given the brilliant luster and dancing cartwheels. A hammered strike increases the charm with boldly defined reverse wreath included those pesky upper left wheat grains. Mottled orange-rose toning is accented with blues at the upper reverse. The luster and toning combination is lighter than illustrated with my images. A single contact mark above the right breast accounts for the (+) grade, without that mark this is a slam dumb "65". The F-115 die pairing features an obverse with the date positioned farthest left among all dies seen. Housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards. December 1969
