1859 Transitional Dime, PR65
Judd-233, Elusive Guide Book Variety

1859 10C Transitional, Judd-233, Pollock-280, High R.6, PR65 PCGS. The Stars Obverse design appears on regular issue dimes minted from 1838 to 1859, and the Cereal Wreath reverse design appears on regular issue dimes minted from 1860 to 1891. This variety combines the two designs into a transitional pattern that is struck in silver with a reeded edge. This stunning Choice proof dime exhibits fully mirrored fields that surround sharply defined devices beneath an overlay of gold, lavender, and blue patina. Diagonal die striations are clearly evident in the obverse and reverse fields.
