Lot 501
1857 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded Proof 65. Although the exact mintage is unknown, it is thought that about 70 were struck in Proof in 1857 (this estimate is from the PCGS Population Report), of which precious few survive in gem condition. This one is a beauty which boasts deep gray and blue tones on both sides, and a large "fin" or raised knife rim around the right side of the obverse. One toning spot below the I of DIME. The recent NGC Population Report shows only 14 graded this high, with 8 graded higher. In NGC holder #343377-013.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
