Barber's "Sailor" or Liberty head facing left wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, hair tied back in a ribbon, stars around; regular proof dime reverse. Stuck in copper with a reeded edge. Among the FINEST KNOWN of this VERY POPULAR type. Bold mirrors shine from all over on this GEM. Pleasing original brown surfaces offer iridescent overtones in blue and rose that really pop when rotated in a light. SUPERB, smooth surfaces are clean and defect free. The eye appeal is amazing! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. This is the ONLY J-1498 approved by CAC. The Simpson coin is the SOLE finest at PR66 BN at PCGS. This coin sold in the 2015 FUN auction for $8,813. Prior to that, the last time a PCGS PR65 BN sold was in May 1993! There is a record for one that sold in Superior's Session of Auction '90 that realized $15,000 which remains the highest price paid for a J-1498 in auction. The current Collector's Universe value is listed at $11,000. What a great coin for the advanced pattern or proof dime collector! This is not an opportunity that comes around with ANY frequency! Cert.
