1796 Draped Bust Dime. JR-3. Rarity-5. AU Details--Damage (NGC).Plenty of sharp to full striking remains on both sides to tempt the budget mind type collector of first year issues. Rather pleasantly toned, as well, direct lighting calls forth iridescent undertones of powder blue and rose-apricot to dominant steely-copper. A dull scrape over and around the eagles left wing on the reverse and edge disturbances here and there on both sides explain the NGC qualifier. Middle die state for the scarce 1796 JR-3 variety, the reverse exhibits a retained cud break at the border outside the first letter T in STATES.
