We love this coin! It is certainly a pleasure to offer this truly fantastic early Proof rarity again! This CHOICE BRILLIANT PROOF is a fantastic representative of this first year of design. Housed in an ancient PCGS "rattler" holder and endorsed by CAC, this coin boasts a totally original mélange of olive and pewter, with accents of russet, rose, and tan patina. As you rotate the surfaces in a light, a dusting of champagne toning pops and adds to the wonderful blend of colors. The No Stars design is quite pleasing, the wide open obverse fields give the central devices a bold cameo like appearance, and the details are razor sharp in definition. This is an outstanding and boldly eye appealing example that has distinct claims to an even higher grade. While the original mintage was not recorded, Walter Breen (1988) wrote, "In triumph, Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson on June 30, 1837, ordered the newly completed Gobrecht dies to be placed into the dime press, and some 30 brilliant Proofs struck for presentation to Treasury officials and other VIPs. About 20 of these Proofs survive today..." The experts at PCGS CoinFacts estimates 25-30 are known today in all grades. Ex. Mid-American's January 1988 Auction, lot 414; E. Horatio Morgan Collection; Stack's Bowers' March 2020 sale of the E. Horatio Morgan Collection, lot 3133; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' July 2022 Regency Auction, lot 161. Only 30 are estimated to have been struck. PCGS 9, NGC 6, CAC 2. Realizing $17,625 in July 2022. Today, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500. Collectors are realizing how undervalued these early rarities are, and finally may be getting the attention and appreciation they rightfully deserve. Good luck. Cert. Number 2052988 PCGS # 4718
