Conditionally Rare 1802 Dime, AU55, JR-4

1802 10C AU55 NGC. JR-4, R.4. Rich golden-brown and dove-gray patination drapes this high grade Draped Bust dime. Noticeable luster glows from the legends and devices, and striking weakness in the centers is characteristic for the type. Minor rim marks are present at 5 o'clock on each side. The low mintage of 10,985 pieces is divided between four very scarce to rare die marriages. JR-4 is recognized by the placement of star 8, further from the Y than on any other variety of the date. Another diagnostic is the lowest reverse star, which touches both tips of the eagle's beak. Just three examples of this date have been graded as AU55, by NGC, and only one of those three pieces has been specifically identified as an example of the JR-4 variety. Across all four varieties of this date, NGC has graded a mere four coins finer, as of (12/07). (Registry values: P7)
