1859[10C] PR64 Cameo PCGS.
<B>1859<10C> PR64 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> This is one of our favorite type coins in the Seated Dime series. Stars Dimes are generally only available in proof format in two years, 1858 and 1859. All the other, earlier dates cost significantly more than these two dates. The 1859 is also much scarcer than its official mintage of 800 pieces would indicate, as many were melted as unsold at year's end. This piece has pronounced brilliance glittering under a moderate coating of natural golden-red and magenta toning on each side. The devices are nicely frosted resulting in a pronounced cameo effect. Limited in grade by a few scattered hairlines and some slight strike weakness at the top of the obverse, still an outstanding example of this scarce and underrated proof issue. Population: 6 in 64 Cameo, 3 finer (3/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
