Description

1869 Dime, Toned PR67
Rare at This Level

1869 10C PR67 NGC. Fortin-105. Rich peach-orange patina over the central obverse cedes to translucent cobalt-blue at the margin. The latter color palette dominates the reverse except for peach and olive-green along the lower-right margin. The design elements are sharply defined, and both sides have been well cared for.

Variety: Fortin-105, attributed by the long flag on the 1 in the date and a strong die scratch in the upper section of the lower shield under the B of LIBERTY.

Population (7/14): This PR67 piece is among the five finest at NGC, along with two PR67 Cameo. The finest at PCGS is a PR67 Cameo.

Heritage Commentary: A number of the 600-piece mintage of 1869 proof dimes have survived to the present day. Examples can be obtained through near-Gem without too much difficulty, after which it becomes quite challenging.

Provenance: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 6/2008), lot 735. (Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CT, PCGS# 4762, Greysheet# 4247)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
