A wonderfully original example with glints of powder blue and pinkish-gold peripheral highlights to otherwise sandy-gray surfaces. Boldly defined in most areas, as well, with an overall smooth and engaging appearance in a lightly circulated early dime. Accuracy compels us to mention a shallow planchet flaw in the right obverse field that is as made. If the Mint State example offered above is to rich for ones blood, this Choice AU represents an exciting alternative. Given the popularity of this historic first year dime at all levels of preservation, this lovely piece is sure to attract strong bids from all quarters.,,PCGS# 4461. NGC ID: 236B.,,
