Lot Description

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. A strictly Uncirculated example with distinct claims to the CHOICE category. Soft, satiny gray color with pale gold and olive accents. The central devices are sharply struck, and the stars on the right side are just a little flat in the centers. Probably dipped long ago, the surfaces have slowly retoned nicely. No serious marks or ticks can be found on either side. The eye appeal is decent. The 1814 is a lower mintage issue, only 421,500 were struck, and the mintages were intermittent, 1809, 1811, 1814, then none until 1820. Demand for the denomination in circulation resulted in very few surviving in Mint State. This is a scarcer R-3 variety. PCGS 20, NGC 12. There has not been a PCGS graded MS62 ever sold in auction. This example will delight any Capped Bust dime collector and should see strong bidding from anyone needing a Mint State example of the JR-2 variety. Cert. Number 81264668 PCGS # 4488.00
