Description

1864 Dime, Eye-Appealing PR66
Sole Finest With CAC Endorsement

1864 10C PR66 NGC. CAC. F-102. This Premium Gem proof displays a medley of soft gold-beige and deep bluish-gray patina accented with splashes of bluish-green. The design elements are crisply defined, befitting a proof strike. Close inspection reveals no mentionable flaws. Both sides display pleasing eye appeal.

Variety: Fortin identifies two proof varieties for the 1864 dime. The present coin is Fortin-102, R.5, displaying a medium level date. The 1 and the 8 are each centered over a dentil, the 6 is centered slightly to the right of a dentil, and the upright of the 4 is slightly left of a dentil. A die defect appears on the lower part of the left diagonal of M in DIME.

Population Data (9/15): NGC shows nine submitted in PR66 and five finer. PCGS reports two in PR66 and two finer. This PR66 is the sole finest with the CAC green approval.

Heritage Commentary: This Civil War-era dime had a mintage of only 470 pieces. Fortin contends that: "High grade business strikes are in higher demand than proofs." Nevertheless, one might surmise that the small production of 11,000 business strikes exerts pressure on the proofs from date collectors.
