1827 Capped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-4+. Flat Top 1 in 10 C. VF-35 (PCGS).A truly challenging variety to find in any grade, offered here in attractive Choice VF. Generally pleasing surfaces, although there is a thin pin scratch on Libertys neck up through the right side of the letter T in LIBERTY, as well as a short scratch in the obverse field below the lowest hair curl. Toned in variegated steel-gray shades with blue tinges when examined under a light. One of the finest examples of this rare die variety with the best known to Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill (<em>Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide</em>, 2015) an AU, followed by five coins in VF and EF. Worthy of a strong bid as these do not come up often in any high grade.From our sale of the David J. Davis Collection, August 2012, lot 5409.
