Description

1880 Dime, Attractively Toned PR68

1880 10C PR68 NGC. Fortin-101. Ex: P. Kaufman. Fortin identifies two proof varieties. Fortin-101 is attributed by the following: the lower loop of the second 8 is broken, the first S in STATES is partial, and a large defect shows at the bottom of the right upright of M in DIME. Attractive cobalt-blue, beige-gold, and lavender patina runs over the obverse, while orange-gold joins the color palette on the reverse. Sharply struck and impeccably preserved. The low mintage of 36,000 business strikes places strong date pressure on the surviving proofs. Census: 7 in 68 (2 in 68 ), 0 finer (5/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23D5, PCGS# 4777, Greysheet# 4283)
