Lot 2111
1820 Capped Bust Dime. Large 0. VF-35. A scarce variety which is seldom found in higher grades, this particular example has lovely color and surfaces for the grade and will satisfy most collectors. The reverse die always shows a crack from the eagle's neck into the left wing, and all known examples show this crack. No sign of the swelling on the obverse or reverse, so this is an early die state. Despite the moderate rarity, this coin would nearly qualify for the condition census for the variety (9/96, published in the John Reich Journal) although a few more have undoubtedly turned up in the last five years. Scarce and underrated.
Estimated Value $75 - 125.
