Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-4+. Fine-12 (NGC). A predominantly golden-gray example, intermingled reddish-russet highlights are noted for the reverse. Isolated border areas are a tad soft, but all design elements are boldly outlined and fully appreciable. Popular as a turn-of-the-century issue, the 1800 Draped Bust dime was produced using two known die combinations, both of which share the same obverse. JR-1 and JR-2 are of roughly equal scarcity in terms of total number of coins extant, the typical survivor of which is in the middle to higher circulated grades (read: Fine to EF), as here. A desirable offering for circulated type collectors as well early dime enthusiasts. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 4470. NGC ID: 236H.
