Lot Description

A VERY RARE Standard Silver Pattern Dime! R-7+ (4-6 minted). Liberty head right, no star on tiara; Standard Silver agricultural wreath reverse. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge. Extremely RARE. This coin has no oxidation or haze (atypical to aluminum coins) to impact the deep, clean, clear mirrors that boast a powerful reflection. There actually is decent contrast, although a near miss CAMEO. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have gorgeous thick frosting. The eye appeal is great! PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 4. Only two coins have ever sold in auction. A PR66 (ex Simspon-Stonewall Collections) sold for $5,875 in November 2012 and an NGC coin sold in July 2008 for $12,650. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,500 and one coin, a PR66+ is finer. Good luck! Cert. Number 25244591 PCGS # 61092
