Lot Description

1801 Draped Bust Dime. JR-1. Rarity-4. VF-25 (PCGS). A few speckles of light olive-gold patina enhances otherwise pewter gray surfaces on both sides of this pleasingly original example. Glints of luster persist to tempt the more persistent viewer, all major design elements bold and some sharper detail evident in the protected areas. Only 200 to 250 examples of the 1801 are believed extant per Winston Zack, et al. in the 2015 reference Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide, and JR-1 is the (slightly) more obtainable of the two known die marriages. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 4471. NGC ID: 236J. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
