Lot Description

1820 Capped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-3. Small 0. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. A sharp and attractive specimen with frosty golden-gray surfaces that smack of originality. JR-2 represents the only use of this reverse die, called in the reference the "Office Boy" owing to the broad and seemingly amateur repunching in places in the legend, particularly the M in AMERICA which is broadly reworked on its left side. Choice and appealing, and easily worthy of the CAC recognition.
