Lot 869		1827 Capped Bust Dime. . JR-12, Rarity-1. NGC graded MS-65. Nice blue toning with reflective fields. For the date, a wonderfully original Gem Mint State coin featuring enlivening fresh luster on both sides. Attractively struck as well, barring a hint of softness on the obverse stars and some of the shield stripes. The motto is strong, as is all lettering in the legends. Full rim dentils on both sides. JR-12 is one of the more widely available of thirteen die pairings for this issue, easily recognized by the low placement of the 7 in the date and the final A in AMERICA being solidly attached to the arrow. Pop 20; 7 finer, 5 in 66, 2 in 67. Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 870		1859-O Liberty Seated Dime. NGC graded MS-65. Well struck and white. A refreshing Gem Mint State example ranking among the sharpest know, and very possibly a candidate for a higher grade. Both surfaces have satiny luster delightfully fresh, original, beaming. The wreath details are sharp and all of the obverse stars show complete radial definition. It is difficult to imagine that out of the modest mintage figure, many other examples could match the quality of the piece offered here. Pop 19; 17 finer, 13 in 66, 3 in 67, 1 in 68. Estimated Value $2,100 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,645
Lot 871		1916-D Mercury Dime. PCGS graded VF-30. Light even wear and lightly toned. Popular Key Date of which only 264,000 were made; most reached circulation. The typical grade seen is worn AG-3 or, if one is lucky, "some rims" Good-4. Watch the Mercury dime collectors hover around this attractive Lot like bees circling a hive! (PCGS # 4906) .

Lot 872		1916-D Mercury Dime. PCGS graded Fine-12 PQ. A nice key date that has claims to a VF grade. Only 264,000 minted (PCGS # 4906) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,185
Lot 873		1920-S Mercury Dime. PCGS graded MS-64 Full Bands PQ. Boldly struck. Evenly toned. Needs to be dipped and probably would grade MS65FB. The Denver Mint Mercury dimes are most difficult to find with full bands. This specimen, unlike others in its period, received a full strong blow by the coining dies, which impressed all the finer details onto the coin in microscopie detail. Pop 87; 35 finer, 25 in 65, 7 in 66, 3 in 67 (PCGS # 4933) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 880		1942/1-D Mercury Dime. NGC graded MS-62 Full Bands PQ. A nice bold strike with even natural toning on both sides.
