Lot 480
1831 Capped Bust Dime. MS-60. A pretty coin that shows steel blue toning on the reverse, more golden on the obverse. Sharply struck by the dies, and well preserved. This is an early die state, with one crack through the A of STATES to the scroll. Perhaps this one was cleaned long ago, but it sure looks nice now. Some trivial handling marks on the reverse rim.
Estimated Value $400 - 450.
From the Benson collection and purchased from J. C. Macallister on February 20, 1945 for $2.50.
