Description
Fabulous PR68 1880 Dime
Ex: Kaufman
1880 10C PR68 NGC. Ex: Phil Kaufman. The 1880 has the
highest business strike and proof outputs of the three low mintage
Seated dimes from the 1879-1881 era. This is not to imply that the
mintage of the 1880 is "high" in an absolute sense. After all, only
36,000 business strikes and 1,355 specimens were delivered, the
present Superb Gem easily qualifying for Condition Census standing
among the extant proofs. Phil Kaufman is known for having a
fabulous and well known eye for knock-out originality on proof
Seated coinage. The otherwise golden-blue toning scheme reveals a
reddish-lilac center on the reverse and a splash of similar color
in the right obverse field. All shades deepen to copper and
charcoal hues at indirect angles, those that are more direct also
revealing splendid mirrored reflectivity. A fully defined and
expertly preserved coin. NGC reports only five other 1880 Seated
dimes in PR68, and none are finer, while PCGS has yet to certify a
single coin above the PR67 level (2/08).Ex: 2003 Central States (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 5923.(Registry values: N4719)
