Lot 336
1857. PCGS graded Proof 65. Only 70 minted. Vivid blue toning on the obverse. An astonishing gem of the best possible order whose Proof surfaces play host to robust toning on this handsome coin. We can state further that it is a nicely struck example, one exhibiting fine detail on all the high points including Liberty's hair and gown, the shield and stars, and where even the rim dentils are clear as a bell. The simple wreath-with-legend reverse was used on Stars Obverse Seated Dimes. It too is razor-sharp. Both sides of this coin are appreciably reflective in the fields with original cobalt-blue toning. The lighter toned reverse has some medium dusky lavender in the center ringed with iridescent blue. Pop 4; 5 finer, 4 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 4746) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
