Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-5. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. This is the rarer of the two-known die marriages of the 1800 Draped Bust Dime, attributable by wide As in the reverse legend and a sharp spine (as struck) from the upper-right corner of the shield. (Both varieties of the issue share the same obverse.) Fully original and very attractive at the AU grade level, this coin is warmly patinated in a blend of charcoal-blue and reddish-gray patina. Boldly struck and minimally worn, with no outwardly noticeable abrasions. Worthy of a strong bid!
