Description

1880 Seated Dime, PR68
Among the Finest Certified
Ex: Kaufman

1880 10C PR68 NGC. Ex: Phil Kaufman. The 1880 Seated Liberty dime claims a generous proof mintage of 1,355 pieces, but the business-strike production was quite low, at 36,000 specimens. The present Superb Gem easily qualifies for Condition Census standing among the extant proofs, possessing unsurpassed technical quality and outstanding visual appeal. 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 three other 1880 Seated dimes in PR68, and none are finer, while PCGS has yet to certify a single coin above the PR67 level (8/12).
Ex: 2003 Central States (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 5923; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 2267.
