USA (New Orleans Mint), 10 cents Seated Liberty, 1856-O, PCGS AU 55, with pinch of gold. Unlike the two preceding denominations, almost all dimes from the 2014 SS Central America Expedition came from the Philadelphia or New Orleans Mints. Only a single San Francisco-minted dime was recovered, due to a comparatively small mintage (70,000) in 1856, the first year of production at the San Francisco Mint, and none in 1857. This New Orleans-struck dime shows off little in the way of circulation wear and at first glance appears Mint State; its surfaces are lustrous and silvery with faint umber toning around the stars. Housed in a special PCGS slab with a pinch of gold (about 1.5 grams) from the shipwreck, the label hand-signed by chief scientist Bob Evans, also with promotional cardboard box (corners slightly bruised). Recovered from: S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 in deep water off North Carolina Please use this link to verify the certification number
