Description du lot

Significant condition rarity for this JR number that is moderately easy to locate in circulated grades, but very rare in Mint State. Handsome and fully original surfaces are toned in blended rose-russet, olive and antique silver gray. Sharply struck and crisp with subtle semi-reflective tendencies to an otherwise frosty mint finish. In our (Stack's) sale of the Logan Collection we noted that the 1829 JR-8 plate coin in the John Reich Collector Society's early dime reference was a composite created from the obverse of a JR-12 coin (same die) and the reverse of a JR-7 (same die). Therefore the JR-8 "coin" in the early dime book does not exist. When publication demands pressed the authors, they had no other choice since Lovejoy did not have this variety until 1987 (the book came out in 1984), and Logan purchased his AU-50 example in 1983, possibly too late as the pictures were done earlier. Prior to the present offering, the finest example of the 1829 JR-8 that we have handled in recent years is a PCGS AU-55.
