STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL CONDITION RARITY!
Breathtaking. Beautiful. Inspired. That sums up this coin in three words. This work of sculptural art designed by Adolph Weinman is considered to be one of the most attractive designs in American numismatics.
When you buy a coin, you want one of the very finest, such as this piece. PCGS has graded 6 as MS67FB with a single coin finer.
In addition to its superior grade, magnificent artistry, and lofty status as a Condition Rarity, this example displays beautiful rainbow toning. Take a look at the photos provided and you will see iridescent splashes of russet, aquamarine, lemon yellow, gold, and burnt orange upon a small metallic canvas.
Art historian Cornelius Vermeule writes that Weinman’s dime, “takes its place as the first individual and imaginative design for this small denomination in American numismatic art.” He is of the opinion that Weinman added the wings because—in the wonderful Saint-Gaudens tradition—he “liked the effect of feathers in relief on his coins and medals.”
This coin has excellent investment potential due to its superior grade, its being a Condition Rarity—and its absolutely spectacular rainbow toning.
