Dimes

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1100		1821. Large date. PCGS graded AU-58. Nicely toned. The dimes of 1821 come in 10 varieties that comprise seven Large Date pairings and three Small Date marriages, the Small Dates easily distinguished by the square base 2 in the date. On this Small Date pairing, the last A in AMERICA is distant from the top arrowhead, and the 0 in the denomination is level with the 1. The Small Dates are seen less frequently than the Large Dates. Pop 19; 68 finer (PCGS # 4496) . Estimated Value $550 - 600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $805
Lot 1101		1837. Large Date. SEGS graded Proof 61. Pleasing golden toning with full mirror surfaces and squared rims. Light hairlines in the right obverse field along with a toning spot. This remarkably artistic No Stars design is by assistant engraver at the Philadelphia Mint, Christian Gobrecht. He'd been employed in the establishment for several years when the chief engraver, William Kneass suffered a stroke (1835) before completing a project to redesign the capped bust coinage. Kneass stepped aside to let Gobrecht provide new dies (based on sketches by artists Thomas Sully and Titian Peale). The design features Liberty seated on a rocky outcrop supporting a shield by her side with one hand while in the other she holds a pole surmounted by a liberty cap. It is thought that about 30 Proofs in all, were struck of the new design in 1837, possibly more. A fair number have been certified by the two major services pointing to the fact that these, being a novel new design, were saved by early day collectors and visitors to the mint. Some Small Date 1837 dimes parade around as Proofs, but belief is that all valid 1837 Proofs are from the Large Date die. They have a diagnostic raised die line on the reverse from the rim above the first T in STATES, as well as a faint die scratch through the ES and O in STATES OF. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.

Lot 1102		1857-O. NGC graded MS-67. Well struck and frosty. Breathtaking quality for this seldom seen New Orleans issue, in spite of over 1.5 million pieces. Both the luster and striking qualities are more than acceptable for this branch mint, with the pristine surfaces satiny, almost velvety smooth, and purest white, a sensational looking Seated Dime. As it goes, this is one of the nicest MS67 Stars Obverse dimes we have seen consigned of any date or mintmark in quite some while. Pop 7; 1 finer in 68. Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. Ex: Eliasberg Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
