Lot 562
1891 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 67. Dark blue at the rims, deep gold through the lettering and snowy white at the center of the obverse, the reverse with a ring of gold and bright white from the wreath to the center. Simply superb, undiminished fields and devices. All one can find with a glass are some scattered lint particles which were present when this one was struck. One of the finest graded by PCGS, they have awarded 10 this high, with none graded higher. Perhaps that will change if this is resubmitted to PCGS or NGC for a higher grade.
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,200.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James Macallister on March 31, 1944 as part of a set from 1858 to 1915 for $195.00.
