Description

1889 Dime, Colorful PR68
Ex: Kaufman-Gardner
F-125, Repunched Date

1889 10C PR68 NGC. F-125, R.3. Gerry Fortin lists two proof 1889 die varieties, F-101 and F-102, but the present coin is neither variety. It matches F-125, which shows repunching at the top of the 1 in the date. Fortin states "the obverse of Tim Cook's plate coin is prooflike." Heritage has auctioned at least two other 1889 F-125 dimes certified as proof, lot 15696 in our April 2017 Dallas Signature, and lot 3740 in our July 2015 FUN Signature. No Mint State 1889 dimes attributed as F-125 appear in our auction archives. This beautifully toned specimen displays rose-red, sky-blue, and apricot-gold toning. The surfaces are pristine. The upper reverse exhibits distributed minuscule flan imperfections. Census: 2 in 68, 0 finer (2/23).
