详细说明

FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Clearly one of the FINEST graded examples of this overdate Capped Bust dime. While fairly common overall, it is extremely rare in MS65 or higher grades. Indeed, PCGS and NGC have graded at most seven examples in MS65 or finer grades. This GEM is totally original with wonderful old time, attractive toning. Coppery-gold and lilac-pewter blends with blue and yellow-gold. As the coin is rotated in a light, the brilliant, satiny underlying luster blooms from below the color, enlivening the variegated hues. The strike is bold throughout with just some minor softness as nearly always seen on the eagle's feathers. The surfaces are clean and free of any distractions of any kind or size that have any effect on the outstanding eye appeal. In 1830, the mint pressed into use an unused 1829 obverse die and repunched the last two digits with a 30. The underlying digits are faint, especially on later die state pieces like this one. PCGS 1, NGC 2. Only one MS65 has ever sold in auction, this one, selling for $19,388 in the 2016 ANA auction. Just 3 coins are listed as having been graded finer at PCGS, including 2 MS67's (and we believe the PCGS MS66 that sold in 2005 is one of them). In MS65, the PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $25,000 and this coin presents a very rare opportunity for any advanced Capped Bust dime collector, one that should not be ignored! We can see this one taking off when bidding commences. Cert. Number 2860556 PCGS # 4519.00
