Lot 2120
1823 Capped Bust Dime. 3 over 2, large E's. Fine-12. A very respectable example of this rare variety. The surfaces are light silvery gray in color, with traces of iridescence around the periphery. Most of the examples known of this die pairing are in grades below this, and the better ones tend to be tied up in specialized collections which virtually are never offered for sale. Far and away the rarest die pairing of the year, and well worth a significant premium as a variety.
Estimated Value $225 - 300.
