Description
1858 Seated Dime, PR66
Among the Finest at PCGS
1858 10C PR66 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-101, R.5. A diagnostic
diemaker's mark above the M in AMERICA confirms the Fortin-101 die
pair, as were all 1858 proof coins for the year. The medium-sized
date logotype slopes downward. The proof mintage is estimated at
slightly over 300 pieces, and although Mint records are scant, new
research by John Dannreuther suggests proofs were still sold at
face value in 1858. As a result, dealers and collectors could
speculate by buying proofs without risk, which they did with gusto.
Accordingly, 1858 proof production was substantially higher than
the preceding years. This Premium Gem example displays steel-blue
and reddish-gold tones over deeply mirrored surfaces. The motifs
are sharply struck and lightly frosted. A highly appealing,
well-preserved proof from the 1850s -- always in demand.
