1829 Capped Bust Dime, Curl base 2. PCGS graded Good Detail, Scratch. JR-10, Rarity-5. This is challenging issue to find, and the only use of the Curl Base 2 on 1829 dimes. The obverse is a mix of golden tan with a somewhat minor scratch from star nine into Liberty's cheek and jaw. Given the rather extensive wear a scratch of this nature is not unexpected, and the coin is otherwise fairly wholesome. The diagnostic die crack from Liberty's chest to her chin is clear, and this likely accounts for the rarity of this particular die variety. Always in strong collector demand for the Curl Base 2, and a variety which is nearly always found in lower circulated grades from About Good to Very Good normally (PCGS # 4512) Estimated Value $400 - UP
Ex S.S. Central America, 2014 Recovery from Purser's Safe.
