Description
1828 Dime, PR63
JR-1, Small Date
Very Rare in Proof Format
1828 10C Small Date PR63 NGC. JR-1, High R.7 as Proof. A
sharply struck specimen with flashy fields and squared-off dentils.
Attractively toned sea-green, ruby-red, and golden-brown. The
fields are lightly clashed but lack any consequential marks. In the
decades prior to the advent of third party certification, unworn
early dimes with field reflectivity were frequently cataloged as
proof, when they were instead well-made Uncirculated examples. True
proof 1828 dimes are extremely rare. The Dime Book (1984)
states "at least five proofs reported." NGC and PCGS combined have
certified four examples with possible duplication of submissions
over the years. We know of only the following modern auction
