Lot Description

A mostly pewter-gray example with bold outline definition to all devices that allows full appreciation of the basic design. A key date issue in the Capped Bust dime series, the mintage for the 1822 is likely on the order of 25,000 or so pieces despite Mint records that report a delivery of 100,000 dimes during that calendar year. Very scarce and collectible date.
