View details	Realized $920
Lot 1561		1807 Draped Bust Dime. . R-2. PCGS graded MS-62. Frosty and bright, this rare type coin will provide hours of enjoyment for a numismatist. There is a small void on Liberty's forehead, and a tiny lamination below the 7 in the date. Light golden toning starting to form, and a very appealing example. Struck from clashed dies, but all the devices are clear, while not full. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,060
Lot 1562		1814 Capped Bust Dime. Large date. . R-2. PCGS graded MS-63. Frosty luster in the fields and well struck expect for the highest devices. The stars are a bit weak too, as usually seen on this variety. Flat on the reverse claws and arrow feathers. Nevertheless, this is an appealing coin with flashy luster and lovely peripheral toning. One for the type collector. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,830
Lot 1563		1822 Capped Bust Dime. . R-1. ANACS graded VG-8. There are some minor dents on the obverse, and the coin is toned an even gray color. A rare date that is seldom found at all. Estimated Value $250 - 400. View details	Realized $483
Lot 1564		1824/2 Capped Bust Dime. . R-1. NGC graded MS-63. Beautiful toning throughout and well struck for this date. The only weakness is on the upper curls and the eagle's neck, but both are much stronger than what is typically found on this date. Toned with gold and blue around the edges, brighter at the centers. Clean surfaces for the grade. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 1565		1829 Capped Bust Dime. Medium 10c. . R-7. PCI graded AU-58. Toned with mottled deep blue on the obverse with areas of lighter silver too. The reverse is lighter and generally untoned. Prooflike fields, which show minor hairlines. Estimated Value $150 - 200. View details	Realized $253
Lot 1566		1833. JR-6. . R-6. SEGS graded Proof 64 Presentation/JR-6. While a common variety for circulation strikes, this is extremely rare in Proof. Perhaps two or three are known of this variety in Proof, and mintage for 1833 dimes in proof is estimated at 5 by PCGS. In terms of rarity, this coin certainly has that in abundance. Examination shows slight doubling on the stars and peripheral devices, the planchet apparently receiving at least two strikes by the dies. Mirrored fields are nearly complete, including inside the shield lines on the reverse. Further, the devices are deeply frosted, giving contrast between fields and device. The obverse displays very little toning, with a hint of gold around the rims, while the reverse is more toned with flecks of gold into the lettering. The reverse die shows a faint die crack from the rim through the D of UNITED to the E in the scroll below, but there is no sign of the crack from the rim to the lower leaves. Curiously, this die was used to strike 1834 proof dimes (JR-1) before it was used to strike 1833 dimes, in proof and for circulation, as the 1834 dimes don't show evidence of the reverse crack through the D, while all 1833 dimes show the crack, including this proof issue. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500. View details	Realized $6,900
Lot 1567		1836, JR-2, Rarity-2. . R-2. NGC graded MS-66 Eliasberg. A gem that has superb rose and gold toning from many years of careful storage. The strike is quite bold, with each star brought up fully, as is every curl on Liberty's head. In the toning department, the colors are speckled, with luster beneath. This coin is likely the finest known of the variety, as the best reported in the Dime book is MS-63. This one has a light die crack up through the 3 in the date to the top of the obverse. An important offering for the most advanced collector. Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. Ex: The Eliasberg Collection Sale, Bowers and Merena May 1996. View details	Unsold
Lot 1568		1836 Capped Bust Dime. . R-3. MS-60. Choice and flashy on both sides, but there is a small scrape on Liberty's face into the field under her nose and another scrape before here neck. A couple of other minor scrapes are visible on the obverse rims. These marks identify this coin as the plate coin used for Early United States Dimes 1796-1837. Delightful sea green and antique gray toning on both sides, and with a wonderful "look" that will appeal to any collector who likes toned coins. Estimated Value $500-UP. View details	Realized $920
Lot 1569		1837. No stars, large date. NGC graded Proof 66. One of 30 or so struck on June 30, 1837 of this new design in proof condition. Of these, PCGS has graded a single coin this high, with none higher, and NGC has graded three this high, with a single coin graded higher. That makes this one of the five finest known of the date. The surfaces reflect lovely light green toning on both sides, over sharply struck devices. The delicate mirror fields show only the faintest evidence of hairlines, and the coin has a stunning gem appearance. Proofs struck prior to 1857 were very much hit and miss, some years saw only a couple produced, others none, and for special events like the coining of a new design, a few extra were made. Most of these disappeared into non numismatic channels, instead going to V.I.P.'s and the like. Survival was a matter of chance. This coin not only survived, but it survived in exceptionally high grade. Don't let this opportunity slip away, so bid accordingly. Estimated Value $25,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $20,700
Lot 1570		1837 Liberty Seated Dime. No stars, small date. EF-45. Light hairlines in the fields and a couple of handling ticks and scuffs. Nice gold color and an important type coin. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details	Realized $443
Lot 1571		1838 Liberty Seated Dime. Large stars. NGC graded MS-66. A flashy gem that has medium coppery toning on both sides, evenly distributed on the devices and fields. Especially well struck, each star and device is full and complete, and a remnant of a wire rim is noted on the lower right of the obverse. Examination with a glass fails to note any significant marks or problems, and this coin is clearly a high end gem. Struck with a clashed reverse die, with the outline of Liberty reaching up from the E in DIME into the field above. Only 21 graded this high by NGC, with 9 graded higher by that service. Estimated Value $2,250 - 2,750. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,645
Lot 1572		1838 Liberty Seated Dime. Large stars. PCGS graded MS-65. One of only 25 graded as such, with just 9 graded higher by PCGS. Toned an appealing rose to lilac hue on both sides, and we note some jeweler's rouge mounded up in the date from an old cleaning (note the white residue within the loops of the 8's). A few minor hairlines can be seen with a glass, but they are very minor. This is an important gem coin that will excite the advanced collector. Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,800. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,875
Lot 1573		1843. PCGS graded MS-66. Blazing white luster on both sides and well struck. While considered a common date, finding a true gem is nearly impossible. This one is the finest graded by PCGS, and the only one its grade class, naturally, there are none graded higher! In fact, there is only a single coin graded MS-65 by that service. An outstanding specimen in every way. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,335
Lot 1574		1843-O Liberty Seated Dime. Lot of 2 coins. Estimated Value $75 - 100. View details	Realized $86

Lot 1576		1862 Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-63. Beautiful antique gray and green toning on both sides. A few trivial ticks from a higher number, but beautiful in appearance and a coin which most collectors would be proud to own. Estimated Value $160 - 250. View details	Unsold

Lot 1579		1879 Liberty Seated Dime. MS-64. The date shows minor repunching.
