Auction 352 | Lot 5890 » Dimes » Seated Dimes
1859 10C PR68 Deep Cameo NGC. As a leading numismatic auctioneer, we have to be careful that our own sales do not give us a false sense of the availability of certain coins. Take for example the proof 1859 Seated Dime. This is a genuinely rare issue with many of the 800 coins originally produced likely having been melted as unsold at year's end. Yet, this cataloger alone has had the privilege of describing several examples over the past couple of years. On the other hand, we can also testify to the fact that the typical proof 1859 Dime is rarely going to possess the technical merits and/or eye appeal of the present Superb Gem. The deeply mirrored fields leave little doubt about this coin's proof status. In contrast, the devices are well frosted. All areas present an essentially untoned appearance with only the slightest hint of golden color at the border areas. The single finest certified Deep Cameo designated specimen at NGC (7/04).

1859 10C PR65 Deep Cameo NGC. All of our Signature sales provide collectors and students of numismatics with a seemingly diverse yet comprehensive array of Gems. The present sale, for example, provides collectors with a choice of two different Gem quality Proof examples of this issue, as well as a Superb Gem business strike. With a mintage of just 430,000 business strikes and only 800 dimes, this coinage issue is not common or plentiful. It is important for our customers to realize that these sales bring together the best numismatic material available, and that multiple examples of coins such as these do not occur on the market on a regular basis.

This Ultra Cameo example has fully brilliant with silvery white surfaces on each side. Each side has deeply mirrored or reflective fields with highly lustrous devices to impart the amazing contrast that is displayed. This example and the other Proof in this sale each have tiny artifacts near the stars, the result of the hubbing process. Our instinct was that these may have represented some unusual form of die doubling, perhaps due to the hub being boldly impressed into the working die, however, this not the case. Both proofs have these identical die defects, and so does the Superb business strike also offered in this sale. The business strike is clearly from a different coinage die, with the date in a different position. These defects were contained in the actual hub, and should appear on other obverse dies of this design type. (PCGS# 94748)
