Description

1859 Transitional Dime Pattern, PR67 ★ Cameo
'The Coin Without a Country,' Judd-233

1859 10C Transitional PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Judd-233, Pollock-280, R.6. 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. Unfortunately, neither die contained the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is believed that fewer than two dozen are known. Struck in silver, with a reeded edge.
The present coin is a stunning Superb Gem example, with brightly reflective fields, ample field-device contrast, and a crisply defined strike. NGC has awarded this specimen the coveted Star designation in recognition of its superior quality and eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
