Lot 2563
1796 Draped Bust Dime. . JR-2, Rarity-4. PCGS Genuine. Our grade is sharpness of AU with slightly porous surfaces. Well struck and quite pleasing. Although the dime is an essential part of the decimal coinage system, it was one of the last coins issued by the United States Mint when operations first began. By the time it made its debut in 1796, as the Draped Bust/Small Eagle dime, the Mint had already been making copper cents and half cents for three years; silver dollars, half dollars and half dimes for two years; and even two gold coins-the eagle and half eagle-for a year. The only other coins delayed, like the dime, until 1796, were the quarter dollar and quarter eagle.

JR-2 is a scarcer variety promptly identified by the R in LIBERTY, which is entered high and too far to the left, crowding the E. Also known as the "6-Berry Reverse," the inside berry directly outside the eagle's left (facing) wing on the reverse is doubled. According to the John Reich's Society (1984), examples of this variety constitute approximately 5-10% of all extant 1796 Dimes.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.

1859 Liberty Seated Dime. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Only 800 pieces minted. A bold gem with resilient underlying mirrors and iridescent toning highlights. From center to periphery, the coin is beautifully well struck with just a hint of rounding on the star nearest to Liberty's face. The Stars Obverse type had a long, respectable run from 1838 until 1860, when the mint replaced the stars with the nation's name and substituted a different wreath for the reverse. Proofs were first sold to collectors (officially) in 1858. By 1859, enough notice had been given that sales increased manifold. 1859 ranks as the most affordable Proof of this Type for collectors to consider putting into a Type Set of 19th century coins.Pop 3; 2 finer, 1 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 84748) .

1873 Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. NGC graded Proof 65. Nicely toned on both sides. Only 800 struck. A lustrous Gem that has exquisite surfaces and a very impressive strike, indeed, the meticulous detail on every device is, well, rather striking even for a Proof issue of this year. The arrows at the date were to allow the Treasury department to find and withdraw the "old tenor" pre Coinage Act of 1873 silver from circulation for reminting into coins issued at the new standard. Proofs were struck in limited numbers; only a handful of Gem Proofs remain. Pop 14; 8 in 66; 3 in 67.

1916-D Mercury Dime. PCGS graded VF-35 PQ. A nice original coin with claims to an EF grade. Broad rims on both sides are often a trait seen on the rare 1916-D Mercury dimes, and it is visible here. Surfaces are very choice. Here and there an old light hairline, such as between I and B of LIBERTY, but nothing inconsistent with the medium wear of a coin in this grade. One of the biggest difficulties to covercome when collecting a nice mid-grade circulated set of Mercury dimes is acquiring a choice example of this low-mintage rarity. Pop 39 (PCGS # 4906) .
