Description
1861 Dime, PR67 Cameo
Ex: Kaufman, Pleasing Peripheral Toning
1861 10C PR67 Cameo NGC. Fortin-101. Ex: Kaufman. Peripheral
bands of ocean-blue and red-violet color this needle-sharp and
boldly contrasted Superb Gem. A few dashes of aqua patina in the
right obverse field must suffice as identifiers, since this
remarkable proof is devoid of discernible contact.Variety: Fortin-101, Type Two Obverse. The only proof variety for the date, attributed by a small, circular die defect on the M in DIME.
Population Data (3/15): This is the only PR67 Cameo coin at NGC although two in PR68 Cameo are finer. PCGS shows a single PR66 Cameo and none finer.
Heritage Commentary: The Mint struck 1,000 Seated dime proofs in 1861, all with the newly implemented Type Two obverse design. As many as 600 proofs went unsold, however, and were subsequently melted.
