Lot Description

1879 Seated Liberty Dime. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). Radiant, virtually untoned surfaces exhibit strong contrast between the fields and devices. Also fully struck, as befits proof production methods, this premium Gem would do nicely in a specimen type or date set. The year 1879 saw only limited production of business strike Seated dimes -- only 14,000 pieces to be exact -- which fact has resulted in enhanced collector interest in survivors of the year's 1,100 piece proof delivery.
