Lot Description

One of the RAREST modern mint issues. 1968 saw the first year of Proofs struck at the San Francisco mint, and a very limited, but unknown, number of Proof dimes made it into sets without the "S" mint mark. As expected for a recent proof, the surfaces are flawless; the mirrors deep, clearly reflective, and beaming. The frosted devices show a wonderful amount of CAMEO contrast. PCGS 7, NGC 2. The last one to sell in auction realized $22,325 in April 2017; before that two coins sold for $30,550. The current PCGS value is $30,000 and this is a major rarity in he modern U.S. series, missing from most collections of Roosevelt dimes. Cert. Number 34949543 PCGS # 85245
