- Lot Description
- 1857 Seated Liberty Dime. Proof-63 (PCGS). Mostly brilliant silver with faint accents of rose toning. Nice reflectivity in the fields that contrasts somewhat with the frosty devices. Walter Breen identified eight different examples in his <em>Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins,</em> and it is likely that a few more exist. However, proof production was a bit irregular prior to 1858 and the true number struck is not known. That said, the PCGS website has published an estimate of 30-50 known proofs.
