Golden-gray patina with splashes of cobalt blue iridescence enhance the appearance of this rare Capped Bust dime variety. The detail is generally bold, and plenty of satin luster persists to further tempt the viewer. While a few wispy pin scratches are evident in the center of the reverse, the stated qualifier concerns a pair of more prominent scrapes over and before Libertys bust. Elusive in all grades, the 1821 JR-2 is typically offered well worn at VG or lower levels. The 2015 reference <em>Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide</em> alludes to "as many as four" examples in grades of EF or better, which fact confirms the appeal of the present offering for the specialist.，PCGS# 4496.
