Lot 2713		1829 Capped Bust Dime. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck and toned here and there. A pleasing to describe array of natural toning hues enhance the surfaces of this handsome lustrous Capped Bust Dime. A small region of striking weakness is seen at the eagle�s right claw and an arrow feather, but the present prize is still extraordinarily bold and beautiful. Pop 33; 30 finer, 20 in 65, 8 in 66, 2 in 67. Estimated Value $2,100 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,840
Lot 2714		1836 Capped Bust Dime. PCGS graded MS-62. A well struck frosty mint example with hints of light gold toning. The advent of Close Collars in 1828 (as opposed to Open Collars prior to that year) tended to standardize the size and improve the strike characteristics of dimes and other denominations. However, it wasn't until after 1836 that the mints installed their first steam driiven coining presses (PCGS # 4528) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
