Description

1859 Seated Dime, PR66+
Strong Visual Appeal
Just One Coin Numerically Finer

1859 10C PR66+ PCGS. CAC. John Dannreuther's recent research suggests the Mint "primed the pump" for future proof sales by offering the 1859 proofs at face value, explaining the big jump in proof production to 800 pieces for the year (even though not all sold). Attractive multicolor toning and reflective fields provide this high-end Premium Gem representative with strong eye appeal. The hues include yellow, gold, green, red, and lavender on the obverse. More subtle toning is present on the reverse, with pale shades of lavender, yellow, and orange. The strike is sharp overall, with minor blending of the dentils on portions of the obverse. Population: 18 in 66 (1 in 66+, the present coin), 1 finer (12/14).
