1860 Dime, Impressive PR67

1860 10C PR67 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-101. This visually impressive Superb Gem proof displays concentric swirls of electric-blue, champagne-gray, violet, and gold, blended together over impeccably preserved surfaces. There are no noticeable blemishes, and all design elements possess razor-sharp striking definition. Certified in a PCGS green-label holder with CAC green approval sticker.

Variety: Breen-3318, Type I Shield; Greer-101; Fortin-101, R.3. One vertical shield line in the stripe above the E in LIBERTY; the tip of Liberty's forefinger is outside of the shield.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS has graded six PR67 and one PR68 Cameo, while NGC has seen 15 Superb Gem proofs and seven PR68.

Heritage Commentary: Proof production of Seated dimes amounted to 1,000 sets in 1860. Breen (1988) asserts that "at least 527 sold, rest mostly melted or spent." The issue is scarce to rare today in all grades.
