1907-D 10C MS65 NGC. In spite of a mintage in excess o
<B>1907-D<10C> MS65 NGC.</B></I> In spite of a mintage in excess of 4 million pieces, this issue is very difficult to locate in AU and Mint State grades. According to one account, a wagonload of 1907 dimes (and quarters) leaving the Denver Mint were lost in Black Canyon, Colorado, near Gunnison, and never recovered. The result was a shortage of Mint State dimes and quarters from that mint. This piece is modestly lustrous with rich, billowy mint frost, and a peripheral layer of brick-red-russet toning. Hints of cobalt-blue are seen on the reverse. Neither the strike nor the surfaces are worthy of criticism. A conditionally scarce representative of this second-year dime from the Denver Mint. Census: 11 in 65, 9 finer (9/06).
