Lot Description

FROM THE GLORIOUS PATTERN COLLECTION. A perfect, "entry level" pattern issue, this CHOICE Brilliant Proof Standard Silver pattern dime is nearly a Cameo example. This design features Liberty's bust right with a coronet, with no stars. Struck in silver with a reeded edge, J-843 is a Rarity-6- pattern issue with approximately 21-30 minted. An interesting example to view with a glass, the fields have a neat orange-peel texture and heavy die lines on the reverse. The fields are the epitome of chrome-like reflection. The devices are sharp, fully frosted and have a very cool contrast. Virtually untoned, we feel this coin is undergraded (no guarantees). PCGS 8, NGC 0. The last one sold in September 2016 (a weaker market) for $1,645. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,300 and this one one should sell for more. Cert. Number 43418611 PCGS # 61087
