1849 O SEATED LIBERTY, New Orleans Mint, 90% Pure Silver (.90 Fine) Graded NGC FINE DETAILS Cleaned

This was the first issue of dimes from New Orleans since 1845. It is another fairly low mintage entry that is readily available in worn condition but becomes increasingly rare at or near Mint State. Gems are essentially unknown, but the coin illustrated proves that at least a few unworn examples survive.
