1857 Liberty Seated Dime. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). This delectable specimen comes down to us from an unknown, although presumably limited mintage. It was not until 1858 that the Philadelphia Mint increased yearly Proof production with the intent of marketing such pieces to the contemporary public. The Proof 1857 Liberty Seated dime was prepared&nbsp;almost exclusively for presentation or other official purposes, and also&nbsp;for distribution to a handful of collectors with close ties to Mint personnel. The current online version of <em>The PCGS Population Report </em>accounts for just 30-50 examples of this issue in numismatic hands. Ranking among the finest certified, this snow-white Gem is free of both toning and detracting blemishes. Sharply struck from the dies, and also possessed of marked field to device contrast that readily upholds the validity of the Cameo designation from NGC. Lovely!
