1829 10C Medium 10C MS (PCGS#84511)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1829 Capped Bust Dime. JR-12. Rarity-3. Medium 10 C. MS-66 (NGC). Impressive satin-white surfaces are brilliant, sharply struck overall, and border on pristine. With a reported mintage of 770,000 pieces for the year, 12 known die marriages were employed to strike the dimes of 1829. The JR-12 is one of only two die pairings that correspond to the Medium 10 C. Guide Bookvariety (the other is JR-11). Writing in the 2015 reference Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide, Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill describe this die pairing as "moderately common in low grade, but difficult to find in AU or MS." The John Reich Collectors Society reports an MS-65 example as "finest seen" for the 1829 JR-12 variety as of 1984. The introduction of third party certification in the years since has provided a clearer understanding of the Condition Census for many die marriages of early United States coins, and MS-66s such as the Larry H. Miller specimen are now closer to CC#1 standing for the 1829 JR-12 dime than MS-65s. A superior quality example of the type, date and variety that is sure to appeal to advanced collectors. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census (all die marriages of the issue): 7; 3 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 84511. NGC ID: 2378. Click here for certification details from NGC.
