Description:
Stunning 1885 Dime, PR69 Cameo
1885 10C PR69 Cameo NGC. Breen-3429. From a proof mintage of 930 pieces, this spectacular coin is a numismatic miracle. For a present-day proof coin to attain the PR69 Cameo designation is not startling, due to technological advances in the minting process, but it is still not taken for granted. For a coin minted 123 years ago to achieve this level of perfection is nothing short of marvelous. The brilliant, reflective fields shimmer under delicate shades of green and gold toning, with dark azure at the rims. The beautiful play of colors creates impressive eye appeal. This pattern of toning is often seen on coins that were housed in Wayte Raymond holders. The strike is unusually strong for this date; most examples have little detail on Liberty's head. The devices on this example have the crisp detail and sharp contrast expected from a Cameo designation. This variety has a recut numeral 1 in the date. Walter Breen erroneously believed that only business strikes were produced with this die, but many proof examples have also been certified. A fabulous opportunity for the advanced collector. Census: 1 in 69 Cameo, 0 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N1) (#84782)
