Description
1859 Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101. Rarity-4. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC.
A fabulously preserved premium quality Gem from the first year that mintage figures were officially kept; 800 Proofs were recorded struck, but it is doubtful that the final distribution exceeded 500 pieces. This is an exquisite coin with deeply reflective fields, virtually pristine surfaces, and razor sharp devices. Brilliant silver on the obverse, while the reverse is bathed in a rich lilac-gray patina. Ranking among the finest graded at PCGS for the final year of the type with the obverse stars, this is an important beauty for the collector. CAC has approved just 6 in Proof-66 and Proof-66+, with just two in Proof-67 finer.
PCGS# 4748. NGC ID: 23CD.
PCGS Population: 19 in the non-Cameo designation; just four finer (Proof-67 finest).
