Losbeschreibung

1802 Draped Bust Dime. JR-4. Rarity-4. Fine-15 (PCGS). CAC. A handsome and overall bold example of this prized early dime issue. The surfaces are smooth and evenly worn, free from any individually distracting abrasions. A beautiful iridescence of sapphire, tangerine, and olive-gold shades paints each side, with pleasing dove-grey color exposed across the high points. Of the four known die marriages of this issue, JR-4 is the most frequently encountered in numismatic circles, The date as a whole is scarce, however, and Mint records account for a delivery of just 10,975 dimes during calendar year 1802. Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill (2015) suspect only 175 to 225 survivors in all grades (all die marriages). PCGS# 4472. NGC ID: 236K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
