Lot 549		1796 Draped Bust Dime. JR-1. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck and lustrous with light grayish toning on both sides. Faint adjustment marks in the central obverse are noticeable only under magnification. Popular First Year type and our nation's first dime. Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $13,225
Lot 550		1796 Draped Bust Dime. JR-6, Rarity-3. NGC graded AU-58. The "Hyphenated Date" variety, so-named because of the crack that runs horizontally through the first three digits. A colorful, coompletely original example with steel-blue toning scattered about in the protected areas around the devices and lettering. Very lightly worn from a short time in circulation. Small mark inside the L of LIBERTY, some thin, ancient obverse scratches, and some lamination streaks on the reverse. No adjustment marks on either side. Excellent eye appeal for both the grade and the date. Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000. View details	Realized $7,188
Lot 551		1798 Draped Bust Dime. 98 over 97. 16 stars. PCGS graded About Good-3. Well worn but still discernible. Rare. Estimated Value $200 - 225. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $380
Lot 552		1805 Draped Bust Dime. 4 berries. JR-2, R.2. PCGS graded MS-66. A phenomenal coin, as beautiful as the day it was made (some would say "more beautiful" because of the russet toning that has formed near the outer rims). Technically, this coin is about as perfect as it could possibly be and we suspect it would have graded higher were it not for the adjustment marks that appear on both sides. Absent these, we could easily see a grade of MS-67, if not higher, which would put this coin right at the top for the date and variety. PCGS reports 2 in this grade and only 3 finer. What a wonderful coin for the advanced collector! (PCGS # 4477) . Estimated Value $50,000 - 55,000. View details Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 574		1855 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 64. One of an estimated 30 Proofs struck of this date, one of only 5 Proofs graded by PCGS, bested only by a single Proof-65. Housed in an older-generation, green-label PCGS holder, believed to be from a time when grading was a little more strictly applied. Milky white, with three spots of color: one by the fifth obverse star, another just to the right of an below the Liberty cap, and a third one on the reverse just above the stem on the right side of the coin. Extremely rare. The arrowheads on either side of the date signified a reduction in the weight of the coin from the previous, heavier standard. The arrowheads made it easier for the Mint and the public to tell the two weights apart, the ultimate goal being to replace the older coins with newer ones. In modern times, a similar situation occurred in 1965, when cupro-nickel clad coins replaced the old silver ones. For many years, even today, coin collectors and dealers make a tidy profit by pulling silver coins from circulation and selling them for a profit.
