johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 5:13 pm Thanks for the comments! Yes, it does have hairlines, but they are tough to notice unless looking at it really carefully. ANACS gave it a PF-61, and I think it's a beautiful example for the grade. Ithas a reverse cameo too. At this grade, they really aren't much more expensive than their MS counterparts. I paid $270 for it, which is about what an MS-63 to 64 would cost. It's the only proof I have in my type set, and the only early proof I own. It's also officially the lowest mintage coin I own. :-) Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 5:20 pm I've never had an early proof, they're pretty cool. And yeah, I think PF-61 was a bit harsh. Report this Post to the Staff
Electric_Op_Ltd Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 07/10/2009 6:12 pm Theres some cameo on the obverse too. PR61? Yeah its harsh. But a very very nice piece. At 1100 coins minted it's the second highest mintage of proofs for Seated dimes. But I'd hardly call anything with a mintage of 1,100 "common" . I always thought it amusing that you could score a proof like this for so little money with a tiny mintage, but a 1909-S VDB, mintage 484,000 is so darned expensive. Yet many were saved or hoarded in high mint state - lol. Great Score, Enjoy that coin! Bruce Report this Post to the Staff

If these early proofs ever have anywhere near that kind of demand, I'm sure they will skyrocket! (yes, I know, wishful thinking). One thing for sure, they have it in spades when it comes to eye candy. :-) Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 07/13/2009 9:12 pm The first pair of photos (dealer photos?) are more flattering in every way. Based on those I was thinking PR-64 with cameo reverse. In fact, the "milk spot" in the right obverse field appeared to be the main grade-limiting factor. The second set (your photos?) reveals the hairlines but I agree PR-61 seems a bit low. This coin has more eye appeal than would be suggested by that grade. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/13/2009 11:09 pm You got a really sweet deal, Johnny. And it looks like I ended up getting your old dime, lol. Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 1:29 pm Sweet! I hope you enjoy the coin. You paid a LOT less than I did when it was still in the slab. I remember it being in the $70 range! It will be shipping out today btw. Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 11:33 pm Very nice. Yeah, it did go a bit cheap definitely...maybe because it was hard to see the details in the pics. I just picked this up for my Seated dime slot as well: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...220449908611 I already have an NGC MS-64 1890-S, but that's worth over a grand...so I didnt really want to crack it.
