1869 10C J-717a, CAM PR (PCGS#535097)

Summer 2025 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: Obv: Similar design to that used for the regular issue 1869 Liberty Seated dime, but without the date at the base. Rev: The inscription SIL. / NIC. / COP. in large letters, with the date 1869 below in exergue, in a smaller font, and slightly curved. Both sides exhibit a dusting of pale silvery tinting to otherwise pewter gray surfaces, the obverse with bold field to device contrast that supports the desirable CAM designation from PCGS.Although traditionally known as the "Koulz" alloy patterns, the uspatterns.com website states that research by David Cassel has identified Montchal Ruolz as the party responsible for this alloy. Only half a dozen or so specimens are believed extant in this variant nickel alloy, and this Gem Cameo Proof is certainly among the finest.
