Description

1871 Dime, PR66 Cameo
One of the Finest Known

1871 10C PR66 Cameo NGC. The 1871 business strike was a high-production date with more than 900,000 pieces struck. In proof format only 960 pieces were produced, and high-grade examples are seldom seen. This is one of the finest. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields deeply reflective, which in turn sets up cameo contrast against the deeply frosted devices. Close examination shows no obvious or mentionable contact marks. There is, however, a die crack on the lower reverse, something quite unusual on proofs. Census: 5 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N1793)
