Proof Seated Dimes
1859 10C PR65 Cameo PCGS. F-101, R.4. The upward sloping date confirms the Fortin-101 variety. Brilliant mirrored surfaces with frost-white devices display strong Cameo contrast. A reported mintage of 800 proofs yields relatively few pieces with such bold contrast. A few tiny marks exist above M in DIME and in the right obverse field, but they do not distract from the Gem quality or eye appeal. Population: 9 in 65 Cameo, 10 finer (6/17).
