 Choice $2500 New September 2! Long Flag Date Punch, Business Strike, Choice Original, Massachusetts Collection.. 1869 dimes were struck from two distinctly different date punches; Short Flag 1 and Long Flag 1. Most Mint State examples have been observed to be struck with the Long Flag 1 date punch (F-105a and F-106a) as is the case for this lot. This issue is challenging in all grades and very scarce in Mint State. Our Massachusetts Collection lot was struck from the F-105 die pairing employed for both proof and circulation strikes. As a result, the strike is boldly executed, for a With Legend dime, including a partial wire rim on the obverse. Original surfaces are covered with thick lilac-gray patina along with some ebony highlights. Luster is muted and a bit more prevalent on the reverse. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder. Previously from the Newtown Liberty Seated Dimes Collection and acquired July 2019 and subsequently reholdered. PCGS #4649.
