Owner's Description

F-105. large O, ex-Pittman. When Heritage sold this coin in September, 2010, as part of the offering of Seated Dimes from the Simpson collection (lot 3636), the cataloguer termed it the finest known of the date. It does sit alone atop the PCGS rankings although there is one other coin also graded MS-67 by NGC (a small o listed in the Fortin Collection). A tough coin in gem despite a mintage of more than one-half million pieces, the next lower grades are comprised of only one MS-66 at PCGS and two MS-65's also at PCGS. The coin itself is magnificent. Well struck and beautifully toned with no distracting imperfections.
