***Auction Highlight*** 1858 Seated Liberty Dime 10c Graded pr65+ DCAM By SEGS. Struck in the first year of wide spread distribution to collectors, this amazing proof survives from a small but unknown mintage. As collecting gained in popularity, the Mint began marketing coins to those collectors, especially proof coins and patterns. During this period, many restrikes of older rarities began making their appearance, including 1804 dollars, Gobrecht dollars, and many others. The U.S. Mint quickly became an active coin dealer, a role the agency continues today.The sole 1858 proof marriage, per Gerry Fortin. Per PCGS the original mintage was just 100 coins, But Breen says that number was closer to 80. Nicely struck and flashy with Deep stark contrast. The only Known Deep Cameo example, on a date that is generally unavailable with any contrast. Trends are hard to assess as no other DCAM has ever come to auction. If we look at the 1859, in Cameo the pr65 trends $3500, and in DCAM $8500, but on the 1859, about 3-4 examples are known in DCAM. On the 1858, in pr65 Cameo the coin trends $4500 and in pr66 cam $9,000. So we estimate that in pr65 DCAM the trends should be $10,500 and in pr66 DCAM $21,500. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
