Description
Transitional Judd-233 1859 Dime
'Coin Without a Country,' PR63
1859 10C Transitional PR63 PCGS Secure. The popular 1859
transitional dime was created when Mint Director James Ross Snowden
suggested using the reverse die adopted for half dime and dime
coinage of 1860 in combination with the starred obverse of
1840-1859. Neither die contained the legend UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, creating the "coin without a country." It is believed that
fewer than two dozen are known, and the traditional mintage figure
is just 12 pieces. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The present
example is an appealing Select proof, lustrous and strongly silver
with a few dots of milky toning on the lower reverse. Horizontal
hairlines through the obverse fields contribute to the
grade.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CH, PCGS# 4749, Greysheet# 4217)
Weight: 2.49 grams
