Lot 869
1827 Capped Bust Dime. . JR-12, Rarity-1. NGC graded MS-65. Nice blue toning with reflective fields. For the date, a wonderfully original Gem Mint State coin featuring enlivening fresh luster on both sides. Attractively struck as well, barring a hint of softness on the obverse stars and some of the shield stripes. The motto is strong, as is all lettering in the legends. Full rim dentils on both sides. JR-12 is one of the more widely available of thirteen die pairings for this issue, easily recognized by the low placement of the 7 in the date and the final A in AMERICA being solidly attached to the arrow. Pop 20; 7 finer, 5 in 66, 2 in 67.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
