Lot Description

1891 Liberty Seated Dime. Proof-67 (NGC). A wonderfully original specimen bathed in a blend of pinkish-silver, antique copper and cobalt blue toning. Direct lighting calls forth ample reflectivity from the fields, the devices boldly to sharply defined with a softly frosted finish. Superior technical quality and eye appeal for the final Proof issue in the Liberty Seated dime series, with an impressive provenance, to boot. Mintage: 600 Proofs. Provenance: Ex Edouard Frossard's William M. Friesner Collection sale, June 1894; J.M. Clapp; Clapp estate, 1942; Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, May 1996, lot 1237. NGC Census: 19; with a single Proof-68 * finer in this category. PCGS# 4788. NGC ID: 23DG. Click here for certification details from NGC.
