J-648 10C 1868 PCGS PR65BN

$4,250.00

We are madly in love with this coin for many reasons and are thrilled to own it. How wicked wild is it to have a GEM Proof Large that is a dime? We were shocked we purchased this coin from our last Regency sale for $3,877.00 (we left a bid-which is what we sometimes do). That is dirt cheap! Here is the description from the auction: R-6+ (13-20 minted). Obverse design of the large cent of 1853-1857, dated 1868. Reverse: TEN CENTS in wreath UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Struck in copper on a large cent planchet. Deep and highly reflective mirrors really beam from all over. You do NOT have to imagine the mirrors. The mirrors are also exceedingly clear and clean. Both sides enjoy a marvelous totally original coloration of chocolate brown/blue/pale purple. There are NO spots or discolorations. There actually is a slight cameo contrast visible. Miss Liberty and the details are so sharply struck they look like they are carved from a block of freshly made pricey chocolate. The eye appeal is phenomenal! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. There is only one coin graded higher. We see no records of this coin ever being sold via auction. ANY PR 65 BN Large Cent CAC would be worth a minimum of $8-$10,000.00. This coin is not only a different denomination, but is a fraction of the cost of a regular proof. The current Collectors Universe Value is only $4,750.00-which to us seems ridiculously cheap. You certainly do not get opportunities to buy a really wicked neat GEM coin like this too often. WE HAVE POSTED THIS COIN AT OUR BEST PRICE
