Lot Description

1798/7 Draped Bust Dime. JR-1. Rarity-3. 16 Stars on Reverse. Fine-15 (PCGS). Otherwise pewter gray surfaces exhibit bolder olive-charcoal peripheral highlights, especially on the obverse. Overall smooth in hand, and uncommonly so for the assigned grade, ample boldness of detail to the major design elements further enhances the appeal of this pleasing Choice Fine. JR-1 is among the more available of the four known die marriages of the 1798-dated Draped Bust dime, second only to the JR-4 Large 8 variety. The present example offers solid technical quality and pleasing eye appeal at the lower-to-middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 4468. NGC ID: 236F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
