A relatively pleasing example of this scarce and eagerly sought early dime variety. The surfaces are awash in a blend of medium golden-gray and warmer dove gray shades. Both sides retain overall bold VG detail with all devices fully outlined and the design readily evident. Several prominent vertical scratches at the back of Libertys neck, as well as lighter pin scratches that bisect the portrait horizontally, account for the PCGS qualifier. The most easily attributable die marriage of the 1829 Capped Bust dime, and the only one of the Curl Base 2 <em>Guide Book</em> variety, the style of the digit 2 confirms the JR-10 designation. This is also the rarest of the 12 known die varieties of the issue and, although not as elusive as once thought, only 50 to 75 examples extant per our estimation. The present example represents a significant find for the budget minded variety specialist.，PCGS# 4512. NGC ID: 2378.，，
