Description

1856 PR64+ Dime
Scarce Early Proof Issue

1856 10C PR64+ NGC. The proof output of dimes for 1856 may have been upward of 100 pieces, of which perhaps 35-50 coins exist today. This is a deeply reflective example that has wide margins around each side. The deep blue-gray and rose toning seen over each side partially subdues the mirroring at first glance, but it is abundantly evident when the coin is angled beneath a light. A few light contact marks in the fields are only evident when a loupe is used. Census: 1 in 64+, 6 finer (3/12).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CA, PCGS# 4745, Greysheet# 4207)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
