1827 Capped Bust Dime. JR-3. Rarity-1. Pointed Top 1 in 10 C. MS-65 (PCGS).This important coin was certified by PCGS for the first time ahead of our auction offering. It is a beautifully toned Gem dressed in a bulls-eye arrangement of rich steel-blue, deep rose and antique olive-gold colors. Fully lustrous and satiny, a bold to sharp strike on both sides further enhances already strong eye appeal.<p>Although it is a common die marriage for the issue, the 1827 JR-3 becomes progressively more challenging to locate the higher one progresses up the Mint State grading scale. Writing in the 1984 reference <em>Early United States Dimes: 1796-1837</em>, the John Reich Collectors Society mention a coin graded MS-63 and offered as lot 302 in our (Bowers and Ruddys) December 1975 Kensington Sale as the finest seen. The present example was purchased from Kagins at an unknown, early date and is accompanied by a company tag with a grade of MS63/63, obviously using grading standards from a different era, and likely the same used to describe the Kensington Sale specimen in 1984. Ranking high in the Condition Census for the JR number, this outstanding Gem would do equally well in a Mint State type set or specialized Capped Bust dime collection.PCGS# 4504. NGC ID: 2375.PCGS Population (all die marriages of the issue): 19; 6 finer (MS-66+ finest).Purchased from Kagins, date not recorded.
