1858 Seated Dime, PR67 Cameo
Sole Finest Cameo Known

1858 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. F-101, R.5. Struck in the first year of wide spread distribution to collectors, this remarkably proof Seated dime survives from a small but unknown mintage. As collecting gained in popularity, the Mint began marketing coins to collectors, especially proof coins and patterns. During this period, many restrikes of older rarities began making their appearance, including 1804 dollars, Gobrecht dollars, and many others. The U.S. Mint quickly became an active coin dealer, a role the agency continues today.

Pale champagne toning accents the vibrant contrast between lustrous silver devices and fully mirrored fields. Aside from a few tiny planchet flakes on each side, the surfaces are pristine. This is the single finest Cameo certified by either NGC or PCGS (11/15).
