Here is one of the finest known today, and a coin that will stand tall even in the most advanced collection. Exceptional eye apppeal and quality! Only 70 struck, with 30 to 50 examples estimated to have survived according to PCGS Pop Report. Pop 2; tied with 2 other Proof 67 coins and a 67 Cameo at NGC as the highest graded examples for both services.

Lot 334		1859-S. NGC graded AU-55. A nice white example. Examination confirms this piece is very close to mint state with just a touch of wear on the high points. The surfaces are clean and attractive, which adds to the already high appeal of this amazing 1859-S dime. Furthermore, the strike is sharp, notably on Liberty's head (an area often found far weaker in strike). This is one of the tougher issues to find in high frade from the entire Liberty Seated dime series. Only 60,000 struck. Pop 3; 2 finer in 62. Estimate Value $5,500 - 6,000 View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

The strike is generally sharp on all but small area of the upper left wreath, but crisp and bold across the entire obverse. An extraordinary coin! Pop 3; 2 finer, 1 in 66, 1 in 67.
