Lot Description

1827/7 Capped Bust Dime. JR-1. Rarity-2. Pointed Top 1 in 10 C. MS-61 (NGC). This is a difficult variety to find in high grade, especially in Mint State. The 7 is repunched to the left and low, diagnostic to the obverse die (which is also used on the newly discovered JR-14 of this year). Gray and silver-gold toning are blended on both sides. The surfaces are pleasing for the grade and this is one of the three or four finest of this variety. PCGS# 38824.
