Lot Description

1804 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-5. 14 Stars on Reverse. AG-3 (PCGS). This is a generally light silver coin with swirls of deeper steel patina that are more prevalent in the reverse field. That side retains more detail than the obverse, but we stress that the date is clear and Liberty's portrait is almost fully outlined. For the grade, this is a desirable example of the scarcer of the two known die marriages for the key date 1804 Draped Bust dime. This same reverse die was used to coin 1804 quarter eagles, one of several similar pairings between the two denominations. Provenance: From the Boston Old City Hall Collection. Earlier ex (Stack's) sale of January 1995, lot 407. Lot tag included. PCGS# 4475. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
