A Condition Census level example of this VERY RARE and important Carson City dime. While operations at this western mint commenced in 1870, coinage of dimes did not begin until 1871. Only 20,100 were struck and only about 110 examples are known in all grades, many of which are low grade and/or impaired. Problem free and attractive, high grade pieces are excessively RARE. This incredible example is the William Porter Collection coin, sold by Stack's Bowers in June 2013, where it was described in part: "An appealing mixture of deep sea-green, rose, gold, and dark-olive patina covers each side of this satiny Choice AU example. The design elements are crisply struck, showing only traces of weakness on Liberty's head, the mintmark, and the wreath bow. High point wear seems minimal, appearing mostly on the wreath leaves." As the first year of issue, these have always been popular and in constant demand from collectors. Attractive pieces like this are extremely few and far between and only ever appear on the market when important collections cross the block. PCGS 3, NGC 2. This coin brought 27,025 back in June 2013, and prior to that, an example sold for $50,600 in March 2007. That these appear in auction every six to seven years speaks volumes to the rarity! The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $35,000. Only four have graded finer at PCGS, and the prices for any Mint State example graded by PCGS would likely bring close to six-figures! Bound for a spectacular set of Carson City coinage or amazing Seated dime set. Cert. Number 32606397 PCGS # 4654.00
