1827 10C PR66 认证号84018730, PCGS号4544

Breen (1989) cited Proof examples for two varieties of the 1827 Dime.

Davis et al (1984) listed JR-8 and JR-10 as being known in Proof, the latter being a Proof-only variety.  They also noted: "Proofs have been reported for [JR-3 and JR12], the latter in the Eliasberg collection, but neither variety has been seen by the authors in proof condition."

PCGS certified a PR-65 1827 Dime in 1988 and a PR-63 in 1999.  Both coins have been cracked out and are no longer listed on the PCGS Population Report.

Auction records present a somewhat muddy picture. Six different examples emerge from a larger number of auction citations, plus a Proof in the Smithsonian.  Further research is ongoing to determine the true number of surviving Proof 1827 Dimes.

The finest Proof 1827 Dime appears to be the Bareford NGC PR67*CAM that last sold in a Goldbergs 2/2013 sale for $86,250 (this same piece had a previous auction price of $120,750 in an NGC PR67 holder).
