Lot Description

1829 Capped Bust Dime. JR-6. Rarity-3. Small 10 C. MS-65 (NGC). This is a visually impressive 1829 dime exhibiting rich and colorful patina that truly dazzles beneath a light. Each side displays tangerine and magenta hues at center which cool to teal, gold, and olive at the rims. This dime is sharply struck and original, without any blemishes of note under inspection. With a reported mintage of 770,000 pieces for the year, 12 known die marriages were employed to strike the dimes of 1829. The JR-6 pairing is among the most commonly encountered of these varieties, though examples at the Gem level are very scarce. The present ranks among the finest known examples, sharing the top spot of the Condition Census with at least three additional pieces certified MS-65. NGC Census: 23; 10 finer (MS-67 finest - all die pairings). PCGS# 4511. NGC ID: 2378. Click here for certification details from NGC.
