Description

1865 Seated Dime, Deeply Toned PR67
In Demand by Date Collectors

1865 10C PR67 NGC. CAC. Fortin-102. This Superb Gem displays nicely reflective surfaces covered with a medley of deep rose, cobalt-blue, orange-gold, beige, and sea-green toning. All of the design elements are boldly impressed and neither side reveals mentionable marks. An infrequent opportunity for the proof Seated dime collector.

Variety: Fortin-102. An upper-left to lower-right die scratch above the tip of the shield and die rust on the shield and gown attribute the variety. Fortin claims no specimens of the 101 variety supposedly seen by Awash have been located. Unlisted in Greer.

Population (5/14): NGC has seen five PR67 examples, including three Cameos, and PCGS has graded two PR67 (non-Cameos).

Heritage Commentary: The 1865 dime is challenging in all grades as only 10,000 business strikes were produced with an additional 500 proofs. The rarity of higher-grade Uncirculated business strikes has placed great date pressure on the few remaining high-grade proofs.

Provenance: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2004), lot 6169; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 6249.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CN, PCGS# 4758, Greysheet# 4235)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
