1859 Transitional Dime, Judd-233, PR66
Ex: Eliasberg

1859 10C Transitional PR66 PCGS. CAC. Judd-233, Pollock-280, High R.6. Ex: Eliasberg. The motive behind the so-called "Coin Without a Country" was not a tryout of the new design. According to the Eliasberg cataloger: "The distribution arrangement for the 1859 transitional dime is not known, but it certainly must have been regarded as a delicacy when it was struck, significantly during the term of Mint Director James Ross Snowden." Nevertheless, the Judd-233 retains considerable popularity, especially when it is as attractive as the Eliasberg coin. Dappled green-gold and blue patina drapes gleaming surfaces. The strike is sharp, the preservation excellent. Certified in a green-label holder. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (3/14).
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1996), lot 1168; Schaumburg Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2012), lot 5065, which realized $37,375.
