Gem Proof 1843 Dime, Ex: Pittman

1843 10C PR65 NGC. One of the two proof 1843 dimes John Jay Pittman owned, in this case (Akers, 10/1997) lot 832, both from our own plate-matching as well as the NGC label identifying it as a Pittman coin. The present piece was offered as part of a complete 1843 proof set in the Pittman Collection. The 1843 is extremely rare in proof, with only nine or so specimens known. When we offered this coin last year, we described it as follows:
"This example from the Pittman 1843 proof set is tied for third finest of the nine known examples. It has deep steel and lilac toning over fully mirrored fields, with few marks of any sort on either side."
Ex: Part of a purchase from Judge Joseph F. Sawicki (5/1948); John Jay Pittman, from an original 1843 proof set (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 832; Richmond Collection (David Lawrence, 3/2005), lot 1238; FUN Signature Auction (1/2009, lot 3688); Heritage (12/2009, lot 412).
From The Bob Simpson Collection of Seated Dimes.
