1872 Liberty Seated Dime. Proof-66 (PCGS).；This high quality 1872 Proof dime exhibits vivid reddish-rose, olive and pearl gray patina on an appreciably mirrored obverse. The more boldly toned reverse is awash in pewter gray with intermingled iridescent blue and pink. It is a very well produced and well preserved survivor of an issue that is notorious for the indifferent quality of most survivors.；From our (Stacks) sale of the John Work Garrett Collection for The Johns Hopkins University, March 1976, part of lot 306; our (Stacks) session of Auction 81, July 1981, part of lot 1674.
