Lot 1250
1827. SEGS graded Proof 62 Specimen/PR/JR-12. Nicely toned however the surfaces are just semi-reflective. We recommend careful examination.
This coinage date is the second of just four early dimes to exceed the one million coin mark with a mintage of 1,215,000 dimes. While 13 varieties are known from a combination of nine obverse and 10 reverse dies, one of these die marriages (JR-10) is only known in Proof. JR-12 as a business strike is one of the more common 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 (PCGS # 4544) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
