FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION Tied for second FINEST graded in the Deep Cameo classification, this coin is a JAW DROPPING, stone bold beauty that makes you scream "WOW!" Ultra deep mirrors are intense in their reflection and have extreme clarity. The devices are razor sharp in definition and have a thick, snow-white frost that creates a stunning 3-D contrast against the mercury-like smoothness of the mirrors. Virtually untoned, save for splashes of delicate toning near the peripheries. The surfaces are virtually flawless, and the eye appeal is heavenly! Only 460 Proofs were struck, again, as demand from collectors was limited during the hardships of the war. In September, the Union Army of the Cumberland, led by General William Rosecrans, met the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Braxton Bragg at the Battle of Chickamauga. The divisions under General James Longstreet (whose troops were detached from Lee's Army after Gettysburg), took advantage of a gap in the Union line, driving the federals from the field. Taking up a defensive line at Horseshoe Ridge, troops under Union General George H. Thomas, held the Confederates, earning him the nickname "the Rock of Chickamauga." After a very bloody battle, the rebel army took up positions in the heights around Chattanooga, while laying siege to the Union forces stationed in the city. PCGS 3, NGC 3, CAC 4. There are two coins graded PR66+ DCAM, this the only one with CAC approval. Realizing a very strong price of $15,863 in April 2014, as a PR66 DCAM (no "+"). Today, the Collectors Universe value is listed at $13,500. Very close in quality to the PR67 DCAM we sold in June 2015 for a record $18,800. What a great opportunity to buy one of the greatest Proof 1863 dimes! Cert. Number 25317738 PCGS # 94756
