LOVELY TONED 1827 CAPPED BUST D IME
Enlargement
324 1827 JR-6. PCGS graded MS-65+. Lovely purple, gold
and blue toning on both sides. Star 6 is high and close to a
denticle. This coinage date is the second of just four early
dimes to exceed the one million coin mark with a mintage
of 1,215,000 dimes. While 13 varieties are known from a
combination of nine obverse and 10 reverse dies, one of
these die marriages (JR-10) is only known in Proof. This JR-
1 variety is quite common, however, in higher demand due
to its separate listing in the Guide Book. Perhaps the Guide
Book notation of "rare" for this Rarity-2 variety could be
revised. A frosty gem with strong underlying luster from the
dies that reinforce the beauty of the original toning. Pop 1;
2 finer in 66. (PCGS # 4504)
Estimated Value .................................... $15,000 - 16,000
1827 CAPPED BUST DIME
Enlargement
325 1827 JR-13. . NGC graded MS-65. Mostly untoned with
the surfaces reflective. This 1827 date is the second of just
four early dimes to exceed the one million coin mark with a
mintage of 1,215,000 dimes. While 13 varieties are known
from a combination of nine obverse and 10 reverse dies,
one of these die marriages (JR-10) is only known in Proof.
This JR-1 variety is quite common, however, in higher
demand due to its separate listing in the Guide Book.
Highly lustrous and largely brilliant with warm silvery high-
lights on both sides. Nearly fully struck on the hair curls and
eagle’s plumage, with just the faintest touch of weakness at
the lowest point of the claws and a portion of the reverse
motto. Flat stars on obverse. Star 7 is high and points to
the upper corner of the LIBERTY headband. E in STATES is
repunched. Rarity-3. Pop 19; 8 finer, 1 in 65 Star, 5 in
66, 2 in 67.
Estimated Value ...................................... $9,000 - 10,000

326 1827. PCGS graded MS-64. Lovely rainbow toning on both
sides. A glistening beauty and a first-rate MS64 by any stan-
dards. An engaging display of lively iridescence leaps off the
nicely lustrous surfaces here, well in advance of a more typical
large size Capped Bust dime of the year. The strike is strong for
the date, with just a touch of lightness on a few stars and the
drapery clasp. A desirable coin in this choice condition. Pop 53;
18 finer . (PCGS # 4504)
Estimated Value ..............................................$3,500 - 3,600
327 1832. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Well struck with light even
gold toning on both sides. A worthwhile Bust Dime by any stan-
dard, the luster is not in the least timid or yielding, while pale
toning hues blossom on both sides. The strike, like the luster, is
confident, indeed, as bold as ever seen on virtually any date in
the series. Pop 31; 23 finer . (PCGS # 4521 )
Estimated Value ..............................................$2,500 - 2,600
328 1836. JR-3, Rarity 3. NGC graded AU-58. Nice deep toning
on both sides. Pop 1; 1 finer in 64.
Estimated Value ................................................... $400 - 450
329 A group of Capped Bust Dimes. From 1824 to 1832.
Coins will grade Good to Very Good. Lot of 5 coins.
Estimated Value ................................................... $100 - 125
