Lot 2118
1821 Capped Bust Dime. Large date. VF-20. One of the scarcer 1821 varieties, diligent searching by collectors have turned up enough to reduce the population to a high rarity-4 over the past seventeen years since the publication of the dime variety reference. Nevertheless, most of the known examples grade fine or below, and the higher grade coins seldom appear on the market. This specimen is a pleasing steel gray in color, slightly darker fields offsetting the silvery gray devices. The surfaces are better than usually encountered for the grade, and show minimal handling marks. Early die state, as always seen.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
