Owner Comments:
White background with deep golden edge toned coin. Well struck, proof-like-MS64, PCGS Seated Dime with excellent strike and full proof like contrast. This is a nice coin with fully prooflike fields and devices with pretty integral rose and gold toning. I would consider this coin to be a "liner" MS65. A couple of small marks keep this coin from being there. I have owned several graded MS65 SL dimes from this era which are lesser examples than his coin in surface quality.
PCGS has graded 130 coins higher than MS64 for this date and MM. This is from an original issue of only 15,100 coins with original luster patina. Despite very low mintage for this dime, examples are available in larger auctions occasionally. This coin was purchased at the 2010 Baltimore ANA Auction, on 11/4/2010.
