Proof Seated Dimes
1837 10C No Stars, Large Date, F-101, R.7, PR62 PCGS. This PR62 example of the 1837 No Stars dime shows the diagnostics of all genuine proofs, including a small tine of metal on the reverse rim above the first T in STATES, and a faint die scratch through ES and O. Both appear under light magnification. This piece features a better appearance than the grade might imply, with appealing champagne-gold and lavender-gray toning. A few faint hairlines appear under a loupe. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 3 in 62, 17 finer (11/16).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2010), lot 558.
