Description
Lovely 1837 Dime, PR63
No Stars, Large Date
1837 10C No Stars PR63 NGC. The Large Date variety, which
has a flat top to the 3. It is estimated that around 30 proofs were
struck of this issue. To date, 45 pieces have been certified in all
grades by NGC and PCGS--calling into question either the original
mintage estimate or the number of coins resubmitted (or possibly
both). This is a lovely piece that is unquestionably a proof
striking even without checking the proof diagnostics. The fields
are deeply mirrored from rim to rim and the striking definition is
complete in all areas. However, checking the diagnostics for
proofs, the die spur is present over the first T in STATES, and the
die scratch can easily be seen that runs through ES O.Each side is brilliant and lightly hairlined. A horizontal lint mark is visible between the pole and Liberty's upper arm, and another extends from the field above Liberty's left (facing) arm across the forearm. A small abrasion left of the rock will help to identify the coin. Census: 5 in 63, 16 finer (3/09).
