CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

CAC. D.L. Hansen Pedigree. Total MS64 and MS64+ pop = 25. Of those 25, only 5 have a CAC sticker, and the PCGS pop for this 64+ grade is only 4. While the strike has fairly weak stars 6 and 13 as well as the eagle’s neck, there is appreciable solid hair detail. Flashy fields beam with fantastic mint luster and surround frosty devices in a semi-Prooflike way. This coin sold in July 2016 for $8,813 at Heritage.

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The reported mintage figure for 1825 Dimes is cloudy because some (as many as 100,000) of the coins included in the delivery figure are believed by experts to be 1824 Dimes, and some of the 1827 mintage figure may include some 1825 Dimes. Taking all this into account, the "correct" mintage figure is probably around 400,000 coins. As such, the 1825 Dime is somewhat scarce as a date. The entire mintage is compose of five different individual die varieties which represent different combinations of four obverse and three reverse dies. Of these, three varieties are common and two are scarce.

Enough high-grade 1825 Dimes exist that the PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census of the ten best examples starts at MS65 and goes to MS66.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.

The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
