1880 F-101 Dime, PR68
Low-Mintage Date, Ex: Kaufman

1880 10C F-101, R.3, PR68 NGC. Ex: Phil Kaufman. The 1880 Seated Liberty dime claims a generous proof mintage of 1,355 pieces, but the business-strike production was quite low, at 36,000 specimens. The present PR68 example easily qualifies for Condition Census standing, possessing unsurpassed technical quality and outstanding visual appeal. The otherwise golden-blue toning scheme reveals a reddish-lilac center on the reverse and a splash of similar color in the right obverse field. All shades deepen to copper and charcoal hues at indirect angles, those that are more direct also reveal splendid mirrored reflectivity. A fully defined and expertly preserved coin. At the PR68 level, NGC has certified five coins as PR68, two coins as PR68 , and two coins as PR68 Ultra Cameo, with none finer (2/23).
