Capped Bust
	1814 STATESOFAMERICA	VF25	CACG 145136361	JR-5	Choice	$1700	Popular STATESOFAMERICA Variety, Circulated Cameo Eye Appeal, Beautifully Preserved. The 1814 Capped Bust dime date features three major varieties including the Large Date, Small Date, and STATESOFAMERICA as one word. CAC has only stickered 22 in all grades with this new offering as the lone piece housed in new CAC Grading holder and graded consistent with CAC approval standards. GFRC images accurately illustrate the darker olive-gray fields that nicely contrast with the much lighter devices. A careful 10x review revealed no abrasions or marks as the surfaces are surprisingly pristine given the time in circulation. Under a bright light, the fields present a steely appearance. This Summer Baltimore new purchase looks much better in-hand than on the images.
	1820 Large 0	VF35	PCGS 15015334	JR-6	Choice	$535	Better Die Pairing, Large 0, Notched Stars, CAC Approval. So what are "notched stars" for the 1820 Capped Bust dime date? Notched stars have a die punch defect on the outer star point facing the denticles. This JR-6 example also brings an R3 rarity rating and thick gray encrusted surfaces. A fully choice piece at the assigned grade that will please fans of strict originality. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder with CAC approval. A fresh GFRC buyback.
	1821 Large Date	F15	PCGS 30709261	JR-5	Choice	$315	Large Date, Near-Gem at Grade. This 1821 JR-5 dime does not warrant a long description as the images provide everything one needs to know about this offering. Surfaces are evenly worn and nicely preserved with a natural coin gray patina. Surfaces are well preserved considering the amount of time in circulation. The circulated eye appeal is certainly satisfying. CAC green bean approval provides further validation of the premier quality. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder with CAC approval.
	1834 Large 4	AU55	CACG 87189624	JR-4	Choice	HOLD $725	Large 4, Noteworthy Eye Appeal, Steely Luster, Previously NGC CAC Approved, Emerald Isle Collection. Consignor Price Reduction - How I wish more early type coins could be so well preserved as this pleasing 1834 JR-4 Large 4 dime. Steely surfaces are toned with rose, gray, and peripheral aquamarine shades. Obverse toning is lighter and facilitates rose colored reflective luster while the reverse has a thicker rose-gray "skin". Strike is fully executed other than the fine details in the eagle's talons. Fields are entirely unabraded too. Overall, a thoroughly pleasing offering for collectors who can relish in strict originality and natural toning. Previously sold by GFRC June 2021 when housed NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval. Our consignor has crossed the coin into a CACG Legacy holder with this work being done for the buyer.
	1836	AU55	NGC 4061050003	JR-1	Original	$550	Near-Choice Original, City by The Bay Collection.. Consignor Price Reduction - Deep color fills the rims of this late-date Bust dime, contrasting with silver-shaded devices. Most of the protected areas exhibit more intense toning, while high points are lighter. JR-1, with star 13 nearly touching the curl. Three JR varieties exist for this year, with the JR-1 and JR-3 being slightly more challenging than the JR-2. A few field lines in the left obverse field are noted. NGC has graded 366 pieces total, with 20 examples in AU55 and 167 coins finer. The NGC price guide is $650 in AU55. Housed in a NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. PCGS #4528.
