Description
1859 'Transitional' Dime, PR64
Richly Toned, Deeply Mirrored
1859 10C Transitional, Judd-233, Pollock-280, High R.6, PR64
NGC. This "Coin Without a Country," the so-called 1859
"transitional" dime, was a creation of Mint Director James Ross
Snowden who suggested muling a starred obverse die with the new
reverse adopted in 1860, resulting in a coin that contained no
mention of the United States. It is believed that fewer than two
dozen are known. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is a
fully struck example with brightly mirrored fields. Each side is
covered with deep rose and steel-blue patina. Just the slightest
contact marks can be located with the aid of a loupe. Exceptional
quality overall.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CH, PCGS# 4749, Greysheet# 4217)
