August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

详细说明: 1859 Seated Liberty Dime. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Final year of issue for the Stars Obverse Seated dime type, the 1859 is also the first proof issue of the denomination with an officially reported mintage. Eight hundred pieces were struck, but the total distribution probably did not exceed 500 coins. Remarkable technical quality and eye appeal in a survivor of this challenging issue, this delectable Superb Gem is the finest proof 1859 Seated dime known to PCGS. It is a beautiful, boldly contrasted specimen with delicate champagne-pink peripheral toning to an otherwise brilliant obverse. For the reverse we note bold, even, charcoal-rose patina throughout. Detracting blemishes are not seen. Exquisite!<br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers<br /> </strong>What a wonderful coin this is, joining others of this date likely held together since the time of issue, and which today are dispersed throughout our Rarities Night sale. The grade is “ultra,” the CAC sticker adds much interest, and the eye appeal is wonderful.  <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TNlcBblGXWI" frameborder="0" width="560" height="349"></iframe>
