Description

1855 Dime, PR64
Only 12-15 Proofs Believed Known

1855 10C Arrows PR64 PCGS. Doubled Date. The proof dies show distinctive hub doubling on the right side of each digit in the date, as well as on stars 11 to 13. This same obverse die was also used for some business strikes, Fortin's Variety 101a. He estimates that only 12 to 15 proofs are still extant in all grades, but does not hazard a guess what the original production run was. The fields display bright mirroring beneath medium-density gray-purple and yellowish toning. We do not see the hairlines that would account for the PR64 grade, but the toning may obscure them. If they are present, they are certainly light. Housed in a first-generation PCGS holder. The proof dimes in this consignment are all in first or second-generation holders and all were purchased from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes.
