Lot Description

1835 Capped Bust Dime. JR-9. Rarity-2. MS-65 (PCGS). A handsome Gem with virtually fully brilliant and frosty surfaces with uniform luster over the devices and in the fields. Fully struck and originally preserved. Though boasting a generous mintage for the type of 1.4 million coins, only nine die marriages are known for the 1835 Capped Bust dime. None of these nine are particularly scarce in an absolute sense, though most become condition rarities at the Gem Mint State grade level. The current example offers the pinnacle of preservation for the 1835 JR-9 variety, sharing the top spot of the Condition Census with at least four other examples certified MS-65, including the Joseph C. Thomas example. With virtually undisturbed surfaces and strong eye appeal, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable piece. PCGS Population: 18; 8 finer (MS-66 finest) PCGS# 4527. NGC ID: 237F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
