1872-CC Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-5+. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS). This is an uncommonly sharp survivor of a scarce and conditionally challenging issue, that will appeal to both advanced Liberty Seated dime and Carson City Mint enthusiasts. Curiously glossy surfaces explain the PCGS qualifier, but there are no sizable or noteworthy marks. Retoning nicely in light golden-gray, a splash of reddish-russet is evident at the right obverse border. The letters OF AMER in the legend are very weak to absent, suggestive of a strikethrough on the obverse. A heavily circulated issue with a small mintage of 35,480 pieces, the 1872-CC Liberty Seated dime is desirable at any level of preservation. From the Lincoln Square Collection.
