Description

1878 Seated Dime, PR67
Only CAC Example

1878 10C PR67 NGC. CAC. Fortin-101. A lovely Superb Gem proof with blatantly original toning over both sides in subdued, blended shades of dove-gray, pastel amber, and iridescent sea-green near the borders. The strike definition is bold if not full, and pleasing satin luster highlights clean, mark-free surfaces.

Variety: Type Two reverse. Fortin-101, R.1. The sole Fortin proof die variety for the year. Medium Level Date, die rust in the lower right portion of Liberty's gown, die lines within the lower-right wreath leaves.

Population Data (7/14): NGC has seen seven four PR67, two PR67 Cameo, and one PR67 Ultra Cameo. PCGS has yet to grade an example of this issue finer than PR66. This is the only PR67 with CAC green approval sticker, including Cameo coins.

Heritage Commentary: The proof mintage was reportedly 750 pieces, but the Mint melted some 1,130 proof dimes in early 1880, certainly dates from the late 1870s and possibly including some of the 1878s.

Provenance: Purchased from Jason Carter (7/2004).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23D3, PCGS# 4775, Greysheet# 4277)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
