Description

1880 Seated Dime, PR68
Ex: Gardner; His Favorite of Three Pieces

1880 10C PR68 NGC. Of Gene Gardner's three PR67 and 68 Seated dimes of this date, he considered this piece to have the best eye appeal, giving it an "8" on his scale of 1-10 -- high praise from such an aesthetically attuned numismatist. This immaculate Superb Gem proof will be a standout coin in any assemblage of Seated dimes. Rich toning is imbued with salmon-pink and electric-blue iridescence, and covers glistening, mark-free fields and razor-sharp devices. Census: 7 in 68 (1 in 68+, 2 in 68?), 0 finer (9/25).
