Lot 2135
1833 Capped Bust Dime. AU-50. A delightful example for the specialist of this rare variety. The surfaces were probably cleaned long ago, but the coin has retoned with medium gold on the obverse, and darker peripheral gold and blue around the reverse. Fully and boldly struck by the dies, with no signs of weakness to be found. Traces of roughness on the lower obverse, which were probably in the planchet before this one was struck. Probably in the top five known of the variety, and another condition rarity that is seldom found in any grade, much less this nice! Be prepared for a worthwhile battle when this coin crosses the block.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
Purchased on August 30, 1986 by our consignor.
