1830 JR-3 Dime, MS67+
Medium 10C, Finest Certified
Needle-Sharp and Attractively Toned Late Die State

1830 10C Medium 10C, JR-3, R.3, MS67+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. A retained obverse die cud engulfs the outer points of stars 8 and 9 on this Superb Gem, late die state JR-3 dime. A savage die crack angles from the upper-left rim through the top points of star 7 across Liberty's cap, joined by a lesser die crack that traverses the left-hand stars 1 to 5. This 1830 obverse die is in its third use, also appearing on the 1830 JR-1 and JR-2 varieties before failing when striking JR-3. Occupying the hammer position in the coining press, the obverse die eventually fell apart. The reverse die cracked as well, but outlasted the obverse while in the anvil position. The reverse displays a heavy crack above NITE of UNITED, counterbalanced by a second crack above IC in AMERICA. Despite the late die state, the strike is remarkably sharp on both sides. Strong silver luster shines forth amid bits of blue and brown toning that gather at the margins of this JR-3 example, sprinkling the obverse and becoming more intense on the reverse. Frosted central devices contrast with smoothly gleaming, highly lustrous fields.

The reported mintage for 1830 dimes is 510,000 pieces, although it is thought additional 1830 dimes were struck in 1831. This Plus-graded MS67 with CAC approval is the finest 1830 dime certified by either PCGS or NGC, with terrific eye appeal accompanying the highly desirable late die state. We expect bold bidder activity from Registry Set competitors and advanced Bust dime collectors eager to add the finest-known 1830 dime to their holdings.
