Description

1890 Seated Dime, PR68 Ultra Cameo
Single Finest-Graded Example

1890 10C PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. With just one year remaining in the long-lived Liberty Seated design type, 1890 saw a business strike mintage of nearly 10 million coins at the Philadelphia Mint. The proof mintage, however, was tiny by comparison with a mere 590 pieces struck. This Superb Gem is fully struck with snow-white frosted motifs and dark, deeply mirrored fields. Both sides are impeccably preserved, and the glassy surfaces are free of even the tiniest imperfection. This is the finest-known example of this proof issue. Census: 1 in 68 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer (3/14).
