The 1838-O dime is an inaugural issue of the New Orleans Mint and is the only Branch Mint representative of the first design type of Liberty Seated Dimes, without stars.
On Friday, Stack’s-Bowers will auction a PCGS graded Extremely Fine-45 1838-O, which is CAC approved. This 1838-O was formerly in the Garrett Family Collection and is now in the collection of the late Douglas Kaselitz.
The Garrett-Kaselitz 1838-O is relatively affordable, given its eye appeal, pedigree, scarcity and historical significance. Indeed, it is a wonderful coin that will cost much less than many higher quality, similar coins from the same era.
Last week, the focus was on the Kaselitz gem quality 1831 quarter and general information about the Kaselitz Collection was provided.
