Lot Description

1830/29 Capped Bust Dime. JR-4. Rarity-2. MS-64 (NGC). This is a scarce overdate that is easy to overlook as much of the 29 was effaced from the die (or it was lightly punched in), as it barely shows with a 10X loupe. Bright silver centers are offset by deep golden-russet iridescence around the rims and through the stars and legends. The strike is sharp on the stars and Liberty's curls, and most of the eagle save for a bit of weakness on the right claw. The surfaces are nice, there is a minor scratch on Liberty's cheek but it is quite shallow; other nicks are too tiny to warrant mention. A prize for the date or variety specialist as these overdates are seldom seen this close to the Gem grade. PCGS# 4519. NGC Census: 3; 4 finer (Mint State-67 finest) within the 1830/29 designation.
