An attractive piece with wisps of reddish-apricot and powder blue iridescence adorning otherwise pewter gray surfaces. The detail is well balanced and universally bold, making this early dime an ideal candidate for inclusion in a high grade type set. The two known die marriages of the 1805 Draped Bust dime are easily distinguished by counting the number of berries on the reverse olive branch; JR-2, offered here, is the more frequently encountered in numismatic circles, although the type as a whole is scarce to rare in higher grades.,PCGS# 38769.,,
