Only 180,750 1862-S dimes were struck, and they entered circulation where they remained until lost or worn out. Elusive in Mint State, this is one of only a handful uncirculated examples graded by PCGS. Satiny in texture, the surfaces are free of noteworthy marks and are richly toned with deep blue-grey color framing boldly struck central motifs. With auction appearances expectedly few and far between, this lot will certainly catch the eye of advanced collectors or the series as well as Civil War coinage enthusiasts. - Liberty Seated Dime
