详细说明

A beautifully preserved example of this important early dime. A better strike than usually seen, every hair curl on Liberty, and even a lot of the eagle’s breast feathers are sharply rendered. A satinlike frost highlights a soft pearly-gold-dove iridescent hue. A very pleasing MINT STATE example, one of very few so graded by either service. The JR-1 obverse broke early on, most known examples displaying a sharp crack that spans the rim between stars 2 and 3 across the rim in front of the bust. This is the typical die state seen; this die does come without the crack or with a full cud, but both those states are very rare. Similar die state to the AU58 we sold in December 2016 for $24,675. PCGS 3, NGC 1, CAC 1. This coin is an exceptionally pleasing coin that deserves its proper placement into an advanced collection of early dimes or type coins. This coin has sold in several auctions over the last five years, ranging in price from $31,000 to $38,000. The current PCGS value is listed at $33,000. Keep in mind that there are only four coins finer graded by PCGS, and this is the highest grade you are likely to see offered anytime soon. With its great look and important status as a type coin, this coin really should be hotly contested when it crosses the block. PCGS # 4462 Cert. Number 90020614 PCGS # 4462
