1956 Dime, PR69 Deep Cameo
Tied for Finest Known

1956 10C PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. In his 1991 reference on 1950-1970 era proof coinage, Rick Tomaska made the observation that still holds true today:

"Because heavily frosted 1956 Franklin halves are not terribly difficult to locate, many collectors assume the same must be true for the other denominations. This is simply not the case."



A glance at the population numbers verifies this statement. The 1956 dime with Deep Cameo contrast and at the PR69 grade level is a rarity. Only two other Deep Cameos have been so graded by PCGS (10/18). The strike is full, and both sides exhibit stark white-on-black contrast with no sign of toning. The preservation is unsurpassed at both services. This is a must-have item for the Registry Set collector of proof Roosevelt dimes.(Registry values: N491)
