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:
Double Struck 1800 JR-2 Dime, MS63
1800 10C Double Struck MS63 PCGS. CAC. JR-2, R.5. The strike is weak at the center, along the right obverse, and along the right reverse. Most other design elements are sharp and clear. The surfaces have frosty silver and light gray luster with few insignificant blemishes. The reverse is a bit brighter than the obverse. This dime is double struck, a remarkable and extraordinary piece that exhibits doubling along the left obverse border and on the reverse clouds.Die State. Perfect dies other than scattered rust pits on each side.
Condition Census. In addition to its importance as a double struck 1800 dime, the present piece ranks among the top several examples of the variety known. The dime book authors suggest that about five Mint State examples exist, including a superb MS67 coin from the Bareford Collection that was later NGC-certified MS65.
Appearances. Plated in the 1995 Numisma catalog.
Obverse Die. The date is wide with the 1 far from the curl, and the final 0 nearly joined to the drapery. Star 1 is smaller than the other stars, and is distant from the hair curls. Stars 7 and 13 are equally close to L and the drapery, and star 8 is quite close to the Y. LIBERTY is widely spaced with LI slightly closer than other letters, and TY slighter farther than other letters. B is slightly high.
State a. Perfect die, may not exist. State b. Extensive die rust is visible, including above Liberty's shoulder.
Reverse Die. Star 12 is solidly joined to the eagle's beak, diagnostic. AME are joined with all other letters separated. Stars 1 through 4 and star 6 all touch the clouds; star 5 just misses. A leaf tip touches the right base of I, and another is below the space between C and A. The outer arrow tip is below the right curve of U.
State a. Perfect die with a spine up to the right from the right corner of the shield.
Heritage Commentary. The common obverse die of 1800 JR-1 and JR-2 dimes remains in about the same overall condition during production of both varieties. Some obverse rust pits become heavier on JR-2, confirming the emission sequence.
In addition to the evidence of a wide double strike, minor doubling is evident on the right wing tips, the word OF, and the tail feathers, all the result of machine doubling that is commonly given the term "double profile" since it is usually the profile that shows such doubling.
Consignor Commentary. For a collector interested in errors, this coin is a delight. I was surprised it did not cause more interest at the Bolen sale. The multiple strike was visible in the catalog plate--the dentils in cloud 6 were obvious. Even a cursory examination of the coin shows lots of interesting detail on both the obverse and reverse. I had never seen a Draped Bust dime "error" coin in Mint State--all the errors I was aware of then (and now) were below Fine. After the sale, I discussed it with a few of the dealers at the auction--they hadn't noticed the error.
Provenance. Numisma '95 (RARCOA and Akers, 11/1995), lot 2013.
From The Ed Price Collection.(Registry values: P6) (#4470)
