The 1879 Seated Liberty Dime in Proof (PF) 62 grade, certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), is particularly notable for collectors due to its proof status and high quality:


  • Design: Similar to other Seated Liberty dimes, this coin features the iconic design of Liberty seated on a rock, designed by Christian Gobrecht. The reverse shows a wreath encircling the denomination.
  • Proof Coinage: Proof coins are specially made for collectors, characterized by their mirrored surfaces and frosted devices, which create a cameo contrast. They are typically struck more than once to bring out this effect and are often kept in mint sets rather than circulated.
  • Grade PF62: A Proof 62 grade indicates a coin with very attractive eye appeal, but with more noticeable contact marks or hairlines than a PF63 or higher. However, PF62 still means the coin is in excellent condition, showing the characteristic proof surfaces with minimal detractions.
  • Rarity and Value:
    • Proof dimes from 1879 are relatively scarce, especially in higher proof grades like PF62. Their value can be quite significant due to this scarcity combined with their collector appeal.
    • Collector Interest: Proof coins, especially from the 19th century, are highly sought after. Collectors might be interested in this coin for its grade, proof status, the historical period it represents, or as part of a broader collection of U.S. coins or Seated Liberty pieces.
