Lot 1687
1796 Draped Bust Dime. NCS graded JR-1. Sharpness of VG-7 Plugged, Damage. We also note some dings and scratches, but no matter, this is an important draped bust, small eagle Type and should find a welcome new home. Rarity-3. The diagnostic die cud at star 1 is plainly visible, although less advanced in size than on some specimens, covering most of the bottom two points of that star. Considered the most common 1796 Dime variety, but still very elusive in high grades. According to the authors of EUSD, "about 40% to 45% of all 1796 dimes" are represented by this variety.
Estimated Value $800 - 900.
