$5000 		Doubled Die Obverse, Superb Gem Original, Massachusetts Collection.. A magnificent heavily frosted 1856 Small Date dime with claims to satiny radiance under a bright. Surfaces appear to be entirely untoned though hints of gold are noted under a bright light. Pristine surfaces provide undisturbed viewing with a 10x. The strike is impressive with elevated wire rims, bold motifs, and only stars 10 and 11 lacking definition, a repeated issue for this date. F-111, an early die state with significant doubling in the shield and gown area above the pendant. Obverse die doubling is evident below the lower edge of the scroll and along the left edge of the shield. The vertical shield lines are doubled right. The 1 and 8 digits are repunched. A CAC condition census example with two approved at grade and a lone MS67 finer. The price guide indicates $5250 as fair market value. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. PCGS #4609. December 1969
