Description

1857 Dime, Toned PR66
An Extremely Rare Proof

1857 10C PR66 NGC. CAC. F-101. Cobalt-blue, russet, and purple mottled toning covers both sides of this Premium Gem proof Seated dime. Boldly struck design detail and carefully preserved surfaces further enhance the coin's highly pleasing eye appeal.

Variety: Fortin-101, R.6. Medium date with a slight downward slope. A die line extends from the rim to the upper-right top of the R in AMERICA.

Population Data (9/15): The PCGS website estimates that 30 to 50 proof dimes of 1857 are known from an unknown original mintage. NGC has graded three Premium Gems and three pieces finer, while PCGS has seen four Premium Gems and one finer. Four in this grade bear the CAC green approval.

Heritage Commentary: Our records indicate that 1857 proof dimes have made approximately 100 appearances through the major auction houses over the past 20 or so years, including multiple appearances of some pieces. The 1857 proof dimes in aggregate appear a bit less often than the 1856 proof issue, with which they share a common reverse die.

Provenance: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 10/2001), lot 6036.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CB, PCGS# 4746, Greysheet# 4210)

Weight: 2.49 grams
