J-233 1859 TRANSITIONAL DIME PCGS PR66 ELIASBERG

This is an R-6 (21-30 minted). The quality and pedigree of this coin are unbeatable! This coin is from the famous Eliasberg Collection-the only collection ever to be assembled that could be considered complete.

In our opinion, this coin is SUPER HIGH END and is PERFECT! Even using a microscope, you will find NO problems what so ever-anywhere. The mirrors are decent. Both sides are covered by an original moderate mix of blue/golden brown/champagne colors. Miss Liberty and every detail are needle sharp in strike. The eye appeal is fantastic!

Housed in its original old green tag holder. PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. The Judd Book values these at $26,000.00 in PR65. The last time this coin was auctioned, it brought $33,925.00 03/09 Goldberg. Prior to that, it sold for $41,400.00 B+M 04/2005. We think these are far rarer than the mintage indicates. They hardly ever appear in ANY grade at shows of in auctions.

This is called Transitional because it does not list the country of origin. A must have for any advanced Pattern set or even a PR Dime set!
