Lot Description

Popular as the premier issue in the Capped Bust dime series, the 1809 is also fairly scarce with just 200 to 300 coins extant from a modest mintage of 51,065 pieces. All known examples were produced from a single die pair. Offered here is a boldly defined Choice EF with pale rose-orange and blue-gray undertones to warm mauve and steel-gray patina. A touch of glossiness to the texture is noted for accuracy, but no sizeable marks assail the unaided eye.
