Lot 1307
1891 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65. From center to periphery the intense radiant mirror luster glows, and is beautifully supported by multicolor toning on the obverse (the reverse being primarily untoned except at the rim). The devices of this handsome Gem Proof were struck with such determined force by the dies that all design elements show boldly, including the critical high points of Liberty's head and the shield. The upper left design area of the wreath is also bold. Bidders should find little reason to watch the sale of this lovely seated dime in blank silence. Instead, they will want to proceed to execute a bid -- or if need be several bids -- during the mysterious shuffling dance at the podium as the auctioneer performs his magic (PCGS # 4788) .
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400.
