Lot 3291
1873 Pattern Dime. Copper, reeded edge. . J-1268. . P-1410. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red. In an old green label holder. Warm golden in color. Pop 1; none better. Only example graded. An appealing fresh red specimen of this very rare regular dies trial piece in copper. The coin is fully struck, impressively maintained, and unmarred by spotting or contact marks. Deep crimson red to golden coppery color on both sides. Quite difficult to encounter in this nice a grade in full red, in fact, so rare is the coin that PCGS grades this not only as the finest seen, but also lists no others in the most recent population figures! It is interesting to see, as well, that it was struck from well-prepared dies that imported a sound and in point of fact, a bold design in all areas (PCGS # 81553) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,500.
