Owner Comments:

Mintage: 607,000
Obverse Dies: 10 Known

For 1860 Philadelphia coinage, the obverse stars of the Hughes design were replaced by the statutory legend of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Longacre. The initial Type I obverse exhibited 5 vertical lines above LIBERTY in shield. All Type I obverse With-Legend Seated dimes come with a very "delicate" relief that wears down quickly. Very few examples are seen with poor strikes or die cracks. The mintage to die ratio is low (67,444 per die), which could explain the quality of surviving examples.

Plate Coin: Fortin 104, Fully Struck Gem with Bold Luster, CAC
