Important 1837 No Stars Dime, Gem Proof
1837 10C No Stars PR65 NGC. Greer-102. All proofs of this first-year issue are of the Large Date variety. Writing in 1977, Breen states that perhaps 20 examples of this rare first-year proof are extant, some of which are impaired. In his 1988 Encyclopedia, however, the author states that "30+" proof 1837 No Stars dimes are extant. Regardless of which, if either, of these estimates is accurate, there is no doubt that this proof issue is one of the premier rarities in the Seated Dime series.An unquestionably important coin for first-year proof type purposes, this is a fully original Gem with medium cobalt-blue, reddish-purple, and gold patination. The fields shimmer as the coin rotates beneath a light and the devices are extraordinarily well struck. The quintessential representative of Christian Gobrecht's original conception of the Seated Liberty Dime. Census: 2 in 65, 3 finer (11/09).
