This is PCGS Graded Coin and you will receive the pictured coin. You are Buying a 1837 Seated Liberty Dime. No Stars. Large Date. Proof-64 (PCGS). CAC. This magnificent coin is boldly lustrous steel-gray with excellent golden iridescence in varying intensity on both sides. The strike is nothing short of magnificent, and the eye appeal is far above average. An exemplary proof of the first date in Christian Gobrecht's long lived design type, and the only Philadelphia Mint Seated Liberty dime without obverse stars; the following year, 1838, saw the addition of stars to the obverse design at the Philadelphia Mint, but not in New Orleans, which earned its obverse stars in 1839. According to records published by Walter Breen, some 30 or (slightly) more proofs were produced on June 30, 1837. Most of these went to officials and dignitaries. This lovely and rare proof Seated dime will be a great addition to a first class type set of United States coins as well as a specialized cabinet of Seated Liberty issues. The pedigree to the collection of Louis E. Eliasberg is an added value which money cannot buy. The Eliasberg Collection, as noted, was one of a kind. Provenance: From Stack's Bowers sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, May 1996, lot 1109.
This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.

Seated Liberty Dime - Variety 1 - No Stars, (1837-1838) - No Stars on Obverse - With the advent of the steam driven presses at the Mint facilities, newly appointed “second” engraver Christian Gobrecht began work on redesigning the nation’s coinage. The Gobrecht designs crossed all silver denominations with the work based on sketches by Thomas Sully and Titan Peale. The new dime incorporated a 0.900 silver composition that was incorporated with the dimes was a departure from earlier dimes compositions designated by Congress in 1792. The overall weights were again changed and designated on the coins with the addition of arrows and rays in 1853-1855. These devices were removed and the No Motto type was struck again using the reduced weight until 1866 when the design changed another time with the addition of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
