New August 23! Ex. Pittman, Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Ex. Pittman Collection, an important pedigree to consider when evaluating this gem 1842 New Orleans dime. Locating 1842, 1843 and 1845 New Orleans struck dimes in choice AU or better is a multi-year challenge. New Orleans mint coinage circulated heavily in the deep south with surviving choice. This 1842-O example brings exceptional eye appeal. Surfaces are strictly original with semi transparent olive-gray on the obverse and bullseye gold and blue toning rings that frame a rose-gray center. Under bright light, the residual luster is readily apparent and exposes all rainbow colors. Strike is complete with rounded stars and complete veins on the reverse wreath leaves. Blemish free and wholesome for the certified grade. The CAC price guide stands at $1500 for reference. Freshly reholdered and housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4582.
