Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
Outstanding 1846 Gem Proof Dime
Among the Finest Known
1846 10C PR65 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. While we have not seen all proof dimes of this date that are currently extant, we believe the Kaufman specimen is the finest known, or at least tied for the finest known. Our ambivalence stems from inspection of the population figures that show two PR65 pieces, both NGC-graded. The Pittman-Kaufman coin, however, is the only Gem that we have come across.In addition to the two Gem proof dimes, NGC has certified a PR64, three Select specimens, and a PR62. PCGS has seen one near-Gem, five PR63 coins, and two PR62 examples. An unknown number of these 16 pieces are likely resubmissions. Indeed, the consensus among numismatists is that about 10 specimens have survived to the present day.
Our roster identifies the following:
1. PR65 NGC. The Kaufman specimen. John Jay Pittman (David Akers, 5/1998), lot 1712. Akers writes of this specimen: "Numismatic Gallery (1949). Probably from Ed Frossard's November 4, 1892 sale which contained a complete 1846 Proof set with gold, the only such set known to have been offered at auction in the past. Part of a complete original cased set."
2. PR64 NGC. Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1133; Phil Kaufman; Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1999), lot 107.
3. PR64. The William Cutler Atwater Collection (Max Mehl, 6/1946), lot 441; Floyd T. Starr Collection (Stack's, 10/1992), lot 363.
4. PR64. The Garrett Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 10/1980), lot 1613. Catalogers say: "Provenance not known, but probably obtained by T. Harrison Garrett during the 19th century."
5. PR63 PCGS. Ira and Larry Goldberg (6/2002), lot 2147.
6. PR63 NGC. Julius Turoff Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 11/1976), lot 336; Allen F. Lovejoy Collection (Stack's, 10/1990), lot 235.
7. Proof. Smithsonian Institution.
Additional Appearances
A. PR64 NGC. Superior (10/2000), lot 4342.
B. PR63 NGC. The Richmond Collection (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1241.
C. PR63 PCGS. Heritage (5/2003), lot 5912.
D. PR63 NGC. Superior (6/2002), lot 4161.
E. PR63 ANACS. Superior (10/2000), lot 4343.
F. Choice to Gem Brilliant Proof. The Waldo E. Bolen Collection of U.S. Dimes (Stack's, RARCOA, Akers, 11/1995), lot 2076.
G. Proof 62/63. The Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1998), lot 109.
Attractive medium russet, gold, and cobalt-blue toning adorns both sides of this wonderful Gem. Impeccably preserved surfaces display mirrorlike fields that accentuate the motifs, especially when the coin is tilted slightly under a light source. A well executed strike delivers virtually complete delineation to the design elements, including full separation of Liberty's foot and sandal, and crispness on the star centrils and the leaf venation. Prominent recutting is visible on 46 of the date, and a lint mark touches both stars 6 and 7 as well as a denticle. There is a long, raised die engraver's line in the field from the bottom of the cap to the drapery. Overall, this piece yields outstanding technical quality and eye appeal.
From The Phil Kaufman Collection of Early Seated Proof Sets, Part Three. (#4733)
