Description
1866 Dime, Stunning PR68
One of Two Finest Known
1866 10C PR68 NGC. Fortin-102. The obverse offers swaths of
sun-gold, ruby-red, and blue-green; the reverse shows similar
peripheral colors that surround an essentially untoned center. All
design features exhibit razor-sharp definition, and both sides are
immaculately preserved. Stunning eye appeal.Variety: Fortin-102, R.3, attributed by a die defect between shield line 6 and 7 at the bottom.
Population Data (7/14): The finest at NGC are two PR68 pieces, including the present coin. The finest at PCGS is a PR67.
Heritage Commentary: This date has the highest proof mintage (725 pieces) of the 1862-1869 era and is available with minimal difficulty through near-Gem. The rarity of business strikes, having an 8,000-piece mintage, places added pressure on the proofs from date collectors.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CP, PCGS# 4759, Greysheet# 4238)
