Lot 2136
1833 Capped Bust Dime. VF-30. A rare late die state of this variety with a retained reverse cud through D STATE to the motto below. Nicely retoned to a blue steel gray with clean surfaces for the grade. Terminal and late die state coins such as this are very rare, and tend to usually be found in very low grades, locating a high grade example as seen here can take many years. The large section of the reverse die was literally being pushed up and out by the striking process, and would soon be replaced by the coiner. A specialist's delight!
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
Purchased from Jim Koening's a year ago.
