Lot 1282
1800 Draped Bust Dime. . JR-1. NGC graded AU-58. Lots of hair detail and plenty of luster while with some light toning around the borders; an impressive, obviously carefully preserved specimen of this scarcer draped bust dime.
One of two die varieites this year, in JR-1, the F in OF is close to the right wing, unlike the other variety for the year. Rim crumbling (as made) has merged many of the denticles on the late die state reverse. The second feather at left is joined to the wing by a heavy die crack. Other minor die defects are visible. Pop 2; 1 in 60; 1 in 62; 1 in 65.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
