Description
1879 Dime, Prooflike MS68
Repunched Date
1879 10C Repunched Date, F-104a, R.4, MS68 NGC. Fully
prooflike fields and modest obverse contrast are the hallmarks of
this remarkable 1879 Seated dime, struck from a retired proof die
pair. Repunching of the 18 in the date confirms the variety. This
high-end Superb Gem circulation strike lacks the razor-sharp
definition of a proof, confirming its origin as occurring after the
die pair was retired from proof coinage. Both sides show lovely
ocean-blue, violet, and golden toning and are devoid of abrasions.
Only a handful of pieces are known this fine, and none surpass this
level. Census: 5 in 68, 0 finer (11/15).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 538642, Base PCGS# 4687)
Weight: 2.49 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
