Lot 2140
1834 Capped Bust Dime. Large 4. VG-7 obverse, AG-3 reverse. Here is a rare variety which is seldom offered at auction. This particular coin is not the greatest example, but the diagnostics are unmistakable. On the obverse, we note a heavy die crack through the first five stars and this piece must have been ready to break away from the die when this one was coined, on the reverse the weakness in the dentils above TES OF AMERIC made the coin wear unevenly with that area worn smooth. There are some hairlines on the obverse, and a small dig on the reverse below the T of UNITED.
Estimated Value $50 - 100.
