Lot 454
1855 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65. Nice golden toning. A lovely first-class Gem Proof with deep rich golden color, fully saturated and flickering with life over strongly mirrored Proof surfaces. The Proof 1855 Arrows Seated Liberty Dime shows up on occasion in slightly lesser grades than the much rarer 1854. This is surprising since it should really appear for sale even more frequently if its rarity were to truly predict its availability. Whittling the number down, there are probably about 30 Proofs of this date known, but only this single Proof 65 specimen graded by PCGS. (Examples graded by NGC can go as high as Proof 67.) Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 4744) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
