Description
1859 Seated Dime, PR68 ★ Cameo
Finest at NGC
1859 10C PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. The year 1859 is the first for
which the mintage of proof dimes is fairly certain, 800 coins; the
estimate of 300+ for the 1858 is speculative. Even so, this piece
is clearly among the few finest survivors, a coin with extremely
deep mirrors and pronounced mint frost on the devices. The central
obverse is brilliant but shows gradations of reddish-russet and
blue patina around the margin. The reverse is not quite brilliant
in the center, more a bit golden with the same peripheral color as
the obverse. Diagonal striations from die polishing appear in the
reverse fields. A small cluster of planchet flakes on the obverse,
in the field to the right of Liberty's right (facing) arm, are the
only mentionable flaws. Census: 1 in 68 ★ Cameo, 0 finer
(1/12).From The Aspen Collection of Proof Coinage.(Registry values: N1)
