- 1829 Capped Bust Dime. JR-10. Rarity-5. Curl Base 2. Good-4 (PCGS). CAC. This is a richly original and smooth looking, if well worn example of a classic rarity among Capped Bust dime Guide Book varieties. Olive-blue peripheral highlights blend with dominant golden-gray patina on both sides. The borders are only partially distinct, but all peripheral design elements are fully outlined and readily evident, as are those in and around the centers. The most easily attributable die marriage of the 1829 Capped Bust dime, and the only one of the Curl Base 2 Guide Bookvariety, the style of the digit 2 confirms the JR-10 designation. This is also the rarest of the 12 known die varieties of the issue and, although not as elusive as once thought, only 50 to 75 examples are extant per our estimation. The present example represents a significant find for the early dime variety specialist. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 4512. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
