Description
1858 Seated Dime, PR67 ★
Beautiful Multicolor Toning
1858 10C PR67 ★ NGC. Fortin-101, R.5. Ex: Phil Kaufman. A
nearly perfect proof with sharp details, strong cameo contrast, and
vibrant toning, this piece displays exceptional aesthetic appeal.
The obverse shows an array of original aquamarine, olive,
amber-gold, and violet toning, while the reverse is light
lavender-gray with peripheral iridescence.Variety: Fortin-101, R.5. The obverse is lapped, showing a polished area between Liberty's right facing elbow and body. A short diagonal die line slants up to the right from the left inner corner of the M to a border dentil.
Population Data (4/15): Assigned the important Star designation, the Kaufman coin stands above the other two non-Cameo PR67 coins at NGC and is surpassed by none. PCGS shows none above the five in PR66.
Heritage Commentary: The proof silver coins dated 1858 are not particularly rare. At least 100 of each are known today, although examples are significantly scarcer than later dates, which had significantly higher distribution totals. The certified population of the 1858 proof dime, for example, is only about one-third that of the 1859, which more or less mirrors the recorded mintages for these two issues (300 coins versus 800 pieces). Substantiating these numbers, the 1858 proof appears in our Permanent Auction Archives only about a third as frequently as the 1859.
