Lot 2137
1833 Capped Bust Dime. The 1833 is a very difficult variety to find at all, even in lower grades, as the obverse die suffered a catastrophic crack from the rim to cap down through the curl to the rim below (this crack is even seen on the few Proof examples known). The obverse was not used to strike other varieties, so far as is known. The coin is toned a lovely steel gray color and has average surfaces, and we note the reverse grades F-12. The 1834 JR-2 has dark gray fields with lighter gray on the devices and very nice surfaces. A pair for the specialist. Lot of 2 coins.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
