Lot 660
1869 Pattern Dime. Nickel alloy, reeded edge. Judd-717a. Pollock-798. High Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. CAC. PQ. The obverse shows the regular dies of the dime, but without the date below, just a blank area while the reverse is a very simple die with SIL. / NIC. / COP. / heavy line and 1869 below the line. This one was struck in nickel alloy to test the dies, with outstanding surfaces and eye appeal for this prized rarity. Only a few are known and this is certainly one of the finest. Amazing eye appeal, color and Cameo contrast. Should grade a point higher or more. Slabbed with a limited PCGS Generation 2.0 Label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 65+ for Proof Cameo. Estimated Value $8,000 - UP
