Lot 2714
1836 Capped Bust Dime. PCGS graded MS-62. A well struck frosty mint example with hints of light gold toning. The advent of Close Collars in 1828 (as opposed to Open Collars prior to that year) tended to standardize the size and improve the strike characteristics of dimes and other denominations. However, it wasn't until after 1836 that the mints installed their first steam driiven coining presses (PCGS # 4528) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100.
