Lot 471
1824 Capped Bust Dime. 4 over 2. PCGS graded AU-53. A tough date in high grades, this one should please most collectors. There is one deep dig in the right obverse field inside the twelfth star inner point, otherwise the obverse surfaces are really sweet. On the reverse, we see a much smaller but probably related dig at the back of the eagle's neck and above in the field, and another on the rim above the I of AMERICA. Flashy luster and with delightful blue and gold toning around the rims.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. C. Macallister on February 20, 1945 for $30.00.
