Description

Delightful 1860 Seated Dime, PR68 Cameo

1860 10C PR68 Cameo NGC. The proof mintage of 1860 dimes in the Guide Book is given as 1,000 pieces, struck just after the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA had been moved to the obverse. The Breen Proof Encyclopedia, without explanation, provides a "net" figure of 527 pieces, presumably after unsold proofs had been destroyed. This incredible Superb Gem Cameo is one of five so certified at NGC, with none finer (3/10). Moderate-intensity patina on both sides includes pink, gold, and sky-blue but fails to dampen the excellent field-device contrast. A beaming, fully struck, and delightful coin.(Registry values: N4719)
