Certified PCGS PR67+, this 1868 dime J-647 offers proof finish and a clearly defined numismatic identity. As a pattern issue, it records the Mint’s active experimentation with design, denomination, composition, and national iconography. Attribution specialists will note J-647, Rarity-6. The census position adds useful perspective: it is reported as the sole highest graded. The proof manufacture gives the design a different visual presence than regular coinage, making surface originality especially important. Its combination of preservation and specialist interest makes it a disciplined choice for a focused cabinet.
