$1550 		New August 23! Rare Die Pairing, Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. Liberty Seated dime coinage in San Francisco continued at low rates until silver production dramatically ramped due to the Coinage Act of 1873, a discontinuation of small denomination coinage and the redemption of fractional currency. The 1871-S issue saw 320,000 made across two sets of dies with the F-102 die combination being an R5 rarity per Fortin. The Massachusetts Collection example is truly impressive with silky frosted luster and vibrant cartwheels, quite notable at the AU grade level. The CAC census notes 25 pieces in all grades with a price guide value at $1200. A can't remember handling a finer example at the offered grade – now it is up to bidders to make this move! F-102, with a high date and weakness in ONE DIME. A few lines in the right field are noted. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4655. December 1969
