1863 Var.101a From Stack's October 2005 New York Auction, Session 1 on Oct 18, 2005 Previous Lot • Next Lot      Categories  •  Stack's October 2005 New York → The Lemus Collection of United States Dimes, 1796-1916 → U. S. Dimes → U. S. Liberty Seated Dimes → U. S. Liberty Seated, Legend Obverse Dimes (1860-1891) Return to Listing 1863 Var.101a. Only one pair of dies is known for this date. This die pair apparently accounts for the entire mintage of this issue (both proofs and business strikes). Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Razor-sharp and enjoying full velvet-like cartwheel bloom on either side. Rare. Only 14,000 business strikes and 460 proofs were coined. Though proofs of this date are certainly scarce, Mint State business strikes are easily three times more difficult to locate. Lot # 635  Session 1 Hammer Price: $4,750.00 Previous Lot • Next Lot
