Lot 1862
1915. Barber dime. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Demand and mintages fell to a trickle during this period. The world was focused on events in Germany and France instead. A scant 450 were produced in proof, and NGC has graded a total of 2 coins that they consider the desirable "cameo" contrast. No ultra cameos have been graded by NGC at this time. NGC has graded this one as PF-66 Cameo, and one other, that a notch higher at PF-67 Cameo. Apparently the Mint didn't prepare the proof dies quite carefully enough to generate the ultra cameo coins seen in other years. Totally white and pristine throughout.
Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400.
