Lot 590
1867 Pattern Dime. Copper, reeded edge. NGC graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. Flashy, with glittering, coppery-red surfaces and highlights of blue iridescence to add to the eye appeal. Struck from the same dies used to create regular Proof Silver Dimes of this year (see Greer 101, "Repunched Date" where he wonders if this is a Proof-only variety). Probably less than a dozen exist -- in all grades, PCGS has graded four, NGC has graded four, Pollock reported three (with a possible fourth) and there is bound to be a lot of duplication among those reported. NGC has graded only 2 in this grade, and none finer.
Estimated Value $5,300 - 5,800.
