Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
Finest Known 1798/7 JR-2 Rarity, MS63 PCGS
1798/97 10C 13 Stars on Reverse MS63 PCGS. CAC. JR-2, R.6. Considerable design weakness is evident at the center of the obverse and reverse, with stronger peripheral details and a nicely centered impression. Both sides have fully brilliant ivory luster with exceptional mint frost. The obverse has wisps of faint golden toning. The reverse is similar with additional linear splashes of blue, dark gold, and russet. A splendid piece for the aficionado.Die State. Heavy clash marks are visible on the obverse. Raised die lines from the forehead and nose join the base of T and Y.
Condition Census. There is no doubt that this piece is the finest known 1798/7 JR-2 dime. Before the current offering, we have only handled two Mint State examples of this variety, both inferior to the present piece. This coin is the only certified MS63, with none finer. PCGS has also graded two MS62 coins, and NGC has certified two MS62 pieces and an MS61.
Appearances. We have been unable to locate any previous appearances or earlier pedigree for this piece.
Obverse Die. Overdate with a small 8 over a large 7, the tail of the 7 visible well below the 8. 13 stars are arranged with seven left and six right. Stars 6 and 7 are much closer than all others on the left, and stars 11 and 12 nearly touch on the right. The date is low and the serif of the 1 is far from the missing low curl which has been lapped away. The top of the 8 is far from the drapery. Stars 1 and 13 are distant from the curl and drapery, and stars 7 and 8 are closer to the bust and Liberty.
State a. Die scratch from star 3 to star 10, probably nonexistent on this variety. State b. Die scratch disappears and clash marks appear. State c. Clash marks are now heavy with die scratches from the throat to the chin.
Reverse Die. 13 stars are arranged with five in the top row, six in the bottom row, and one on each side of the eagle's head. No other Heraldic Eagle die has that particular star arrangement. Star 1 touches the left wing, star 3 is attached to the cloud below the final S, and star 12 is solidly attached to the upper beak and the lower beak. All letters in the legend are spaced apart, with no letters touching any devices, although a leaf nearly touches the base of I in AMERICA. The branch only has four berries, lacking the top inside berry.
State a. Perfect die.
Heritage Commentary. The 13 Stars Reverse variety of 1798 overdates was struck after the 16 Stars variety. It is presumed that the overdates were coined before the normal dates, although that is uncertain.
The 1798/7 JR-2 dime with 13 reverse stars is one of the important rarities in the Heraldic Eagle dime series. Rated as R.6, less than 30 examples are known in all grades. While there is no complete census available, it is reasonable to expect that nearly all of the known pieces are in grades below XF.
Consignor Commentary. The dime book lists the Bareford coin as the finest the authors had seen. I owned that coin and the present piece for several years. This example that I retained is clearly superior, and is the finest I have seen or heard of.
Provenance. Stuart Levine (8/2/2002).
