Description
1829 JR-10 Dime, VF30
Rare Curl Base 2 Variant
1829 10C Curl Base 2, JR-10, FS-301, R.5, VF30 PCGS. The
base of the 2 is distinctly curved on this obverse die that is
known in combination with a single reverse, and only about 50
examples are known from the die marriage, mostly in VG and lower
grades. John McCloskey is credited with the discovery of the Curl
Base 2 in 1973. The finest known example grades at the top of the
VF range, and just five other lower level Very Fine coins are
thought to exist, including the present piece that is a recent
discovery. Rich blue and steel toning in the fields accents the
light gray devices of this pleasing piece. Both sides show trivial
handling marks that are consistent with the grade. This is an
extremely important offering for the advanced Capped Bust dime
collector.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2378, Variety PCGS# 38836, Base PCGS# 4512, Greysheet# 375323)
