Description

1798 10C Large 8, JR-4, R.3 -- Cleaned -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. There are only four die marriages of 1798 dimes, and each are individually listed in the Guide Book due to distinctive qualities. JR-4 is the only variety with a Large 8, and is also notable for a lengthy obverse crack from Liberty's nose to the rim. Additionally, there are rim die breaks on the reverse between 12 o'clock and 1:30, and a bold "beard" clash mark from Liberty's chin. This slate-gray example displays luster throughout the wings and curls. The surfaces are slightly subdued, but marks are unimportant given its short stint in early American commerce.
