详细说明

The 1844 is one of the most popular dates in the Seated dime series, dubbed the "Orphan Annie" by collector Frank Ross who hoarded the issue. While not a great rarity in an absolute sense, it is a low mintage with only 72,500 struck. Considered a KEY date, many survivors today are either impaired in some way, or low grade; AU and Mint State examples are RARE, ever more so in CHOICE grades. The presently offered piece is fully original with a lovely variegated blue, tan, and pewter toned surfaces accented by a nearly reflective lustrous texture in the fields. A careful examination with a strong glass reveals a few minor ticks that are mentioned here only for the sake of accuracy. The details are nicely rendered during the striking. The teal-blue patina is extremely eye arresting and the visual affect is stunning! PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin last sold over a decade ago, realizing $13,800 back in December 2008 and none have sold since July 2009. Today the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500. Just five are graded finer, four in MS65 and one in 66. A classic KEY issue to this series that will see very strong bidding when it crosses the block. Good luck! Cert. Number 11455528 PCGS # 4585.00
