Description

1881 Dime, PR68 Cameo
Low-Mintage Date, Nearly Unimprovable

1881 10C PR68 Cameo PCGS. CAC. F-101, R.3. Ex: Simpson. The first S in STATES is completely broken, identifying this proof die pair. Both sides of this Superb Gem Cameo specimen are magnificently toned in pale golden-orange patina with deeper cobalt-blue and magenta hues around the rims. The frosted motifs contrast starkly against the glassy, mirrorlike fields. Void of contact and seemingly unimprovable. From a mintage of 971 pieces, the 1881 proof dime is subject to strong date pressure because of the low circulation-strike production of just 24,000 coins. Population: 3 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 68, 0 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23D6, PCGS# 84778, Greysheet# 4287)
