Lot Description

1827 Capped Bust Dime. JR-8. Rarity-4. Pointed Top 1 in 10 C. MS-63 (NGC). This impressive example is tied with one other example as the finest reported in the most recent John Reich Condition Census for this variety. The glorious toning includes crimson, sea-green, blue, lemon and russet on the fields and rims, with splashes of color on the mostly bright devices. The strike is sharp on all but the uppermost portions of Liberty's curls, and the stars and the eagle's feathers and talons are sharp. Scarce as a variety and difficult to find even approaching Mint State. PCGS# 4504.
