The 1861 10C Liberty Seated Dime in PCGS PR-65 CAM stands as a pinnacle of numismatic artistry, its proof surfaces capturing the elegance of James B. Longacre's design amid the Civil War's shadow. PCGS has graded 3 as PR65CAM with only 3 finer.
Yet, it is the coin's original multi-colored toning that elevates it to poetic splendor—iridescent hues of electric blue, fiery crimson, and verdant green swirling across fields and devices like a captured aurora, born from decades of careful preservation rather than artificial enhancement.
This toning is no mere patina; it is a symphony of natural oxidation, where delicate rainbow gradients frame the cameo contrast, with frosted portraits popping vividly against mirror-like backgrounds. Such chromatic depth not only enhances the dime's diminutive scale but evokes the era's turbulent beauty, transforming metal into a living canvas.
PCGS, in recognition of this exceptional allure, selected this very specimen to grace the CoinFacts page for 1861 Proof Liberty Seated Dimes in Cameo designation. Amid countless survivors, its toning's purity and vibrancy embody the issue's finest potential, serving as a benchmark for collectors seeking historical poetry in proof coinage.
