Auction 388 | Lot 2073 » Dimes » Seated Dimes
1859 10C PR67 NGC. This flashy and needle-sharp Superb Gem is untoned save for some russet color on the obverse rim. The devices are icy, but apparently insufficiently so to secure a Cameo designation from NGC. Just 800 proofs were struck, and survivors from the mintage are requisite for a proof type set, since the stars were replaced with a legend in 1860. The peculiar hollow stars obverse subtype used on the 1859 Half Dime was never adapted to the Dime, although, like the Half Dime, "transitional" pattern Dimes dated that year exist, which mule the stars obverse with the large cereal wreath reverse, intended for 1860 and later issues.

1859 10C PR67 NGC. This Superb Gem Proof is one of the best examples certified for this date. NGC has certified a few PR67 examples, a few more with cameo contrast, and two finer PR68 coins. Even though this does not qualify as finest certified, we cannot imagine any that are more desirable. Further, this dime has excellent cameo contrast despite not carrying such a designation. The color is outstanding with iridescent toning on both sides. The obverse has rich gold color with vivid blue and lilac along the top border. The reverse has peripheral sea-green toning with lilac and rose accents. A splendid example of the final Philadelphia Mint issue of this design. (PCGS# 4748)

1859 10C PR67 NGC. Long overlooked as a type coin, there are only two years generally available to collectors of the Stars Obverse design in proof format, 1858 and 1859. Both sides of this immaculately preserved specimen are rather deeply toned in gunmetal and steel-violet hues, with some contrast visible on the obverse despite the rich coloration. Population: 8 in 67, 1 finer (10/02). (PCGS# 4748)

1859 10C PR66 PCGS. No important offering of Seated Dimes would be complete without a representative of the proof 1859 delivery. This date boasts an original mintage of 800 pieces--a respectable total for the era. On the other hand, it is unlikely that all of these coins left the Mint, those that did not most certainly having been melted. A fortunate and expertly preserved survivor, this coin is overlaid in delicate champagne-gray tinting that allows full appreciation of the silky smooth features. There is appreciable field-to-device contrast, the latter displaying a well frosted texture and razor sharp striking detail. Housed in an older PCGS slab, the surfaces are knocking on the door of the Superb Gem level. Population: 18 in 66, there are only two finer (1/03).

1859 10C PR66 NGC. The 1859 is the final year of issue of the Stars Obverse design. While 800 proofs were struck, many pieces were melted at year's end as unsold. The fields on this piece are very deeply mirrored and close examination reveals several tiny planchet flakes and lint marks, which are common on proofs from the 19th century. The centers are mostly brilliant with light golden toning surrounding the peripheries. An exceptionally pleasing example of this scarce and important proof Stars Obverse dime. (PCGS# 4748)

1859 10C PR66 NGC. Although Mint records indicate that 800 proof Seated Dimes were produced in 1859, many, if not most of these coins were melted as unsold. As a result, students of this series would be wise to follow this Gem closely when it crosses the auction block. Unquestionably original, the surfaces are layered in golden, lilac, antique-copper, and cobalt-blue toning that deepens in color toward the denticles. The fields sparkle at most angles, razor sharp striking definition leaves little doubt as to this coin's status as a proof.

1859 10C PR66 NGC. Formerly sold as lot 6676 in our 2002 New York Sale, where it was described as, "This is one of our favorite type coins in the Seated Dime series. Stars Dimes are generally only available in proof format in two years, 1858 and 1859. All the other, earlier dates cost significantly more than these two dates. The 1859 is also much scarcer than its official mintage of 800 pieces would indicate, as many were melted as unsold at year's end. This piece has hazy brilliance over each side and the fields are deeply mirrored. An outstanding example of this scarce and underrated proof issue." The coin brought $3,910 in that sale almost six months ago. (PCGS# 4748)

NGC 1859 PR 66. The Stars Obverse design is generally only available in the proof format in two years, 1858 and 1859. As such it is a very popular and highly desirable type coin with great date pressure exerted on the surviving specimens from these two years. This is a splendid example that has deeply reflective mirrors beneath the rather considerable toning that covers both sides. We can detect no obvious contact marks or hairlines on either side, the only flaw is a tiny planchet defect below the top of the wreath on the reverse. Population: 5 in 66, only 3 finer (10/94).
