1807 JR-1
.
NGC graded MS-64
. Lovely blue and gold
toning. Tiny marks in the reverse clouds. Struck from
clashed dies. The reverse die for the 1807 dime had previ-
ously been used to strike four quarter eagle issues: the
1805, 1806/4, 1806/5, and 1807. Once it was converted to
use for dimes dated 1807, well over 100,000 pieces were
produced! As a result, most of the examples known today
display multiple die problems, including weakness on the
left side of the obverse, die clashing in the right obverse
field, repolishing, and missing peripheral detail on late
strikes.
A nice representative example of the 1807 Dime, the pres-
ent piece is in MS64 grade. Both obverse and reverse are
deeply and richly lustrous, overlaid with light lilac and blue
toning that includes splashes of gold, with the main
instance of blue iridescence concentrated in the centers. In
all areas the striking details are uneven, and typical, indeed
the 1807 date makes a good numismatic study year for die
progression and relapping of clashed dies. All told it is a
illustrative example of the date and type.

1814. Large Date. JR-3.
.
PCGS graded MS-64
. Nicely
toned. Some die clashing before Liberty's face on this some-
what later die state. A frosty coin for a Bust Dime collector. Its
high degree of broad-spinning luster rests beneath toned high-
lights. Typical uneven strike and the noted long break on the
reverse; with weakness at the usual Achilles'heel on the 1814’s,
the stars on the right. Scarce coin in MS64 condition.

1814. "STATESOFAMERICA." JR-5, R-3.
.
PCGS graded
VF-30
. Old time toning on both sides. Five die varieties are
known among the Dimes of 1814, created through a combina-
tion of three obverse and four reverse dies. The recorded mint-
age was 421,500 coins all produced from the second through
fourth quarters of the year. It is believed that this is the total
mintage of dimes bearing this date since no examples of this
denomination were struck from 1815 through 1819. This
STATESOF reverse die was also used with an 1820 obverse, JR-
1. (
