***Auction Highlight*** 1852-p Fortin-114 R4 Seated Liberty Dime 10c Graded GEM+ Unc By USCG. A phenomenal condition rarity from this early Philadelphia Mint entry in the Liberty Seated dime series. Bathed in intense, billowy, satin-textured luster to otherwise "old silver" surfaces. The appearance is charmingly original and accents a strike that is remarkably full for the issue (at least two other high grade survivors that we are familiar with are softly defined in isolated areas and cannot compete with this piece as far as striking quality is concerned). Expertly preserved to the point of being virtually pristine, it is little wonder than that this beauty is tied for finest 6th finest known.The 1852 dime is very scarce as are all 1850s Philadelphia Mint silver issue, most examples of which were hoarded and melted during the early California Gold Rush era. The typical survivor is circulated to one degree or another, however, with Mint State coins scarce in an absolute sense and rare above the MS-64 level. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
