Description
1873 No Arrows, Closed 3 Dime
PR68 Cameo, Sole Finest Known
1873 10C No Arrows, Closed 3 PR68 Cameo PCGS. F-101, R.3.
The only proof dies for the issue. This Superb Gem Cameo proof
exhibits a thick layer of frost over the devices, giving it a
strong degree of contrast against the reflective fields.
Cobalt-blue, violet, and golden-orange toning encircles the
borders, while the interiors show purple-gray patina. Sharply
detailed and impeccably preserved.All 600 proofs were struck between January 15 and February 28, 1873. An unknown quantity were later melted, in July 1873. In their sale of this coin, Bowers and Merena described it as "easily among the most beautiful proof examples of both the issue and the type that we have ever offered." We agree.
