1834 JR-5 Dime, PR65
Ex: WGC, Floyd Starr
1834 10C PR65 NGC. JR-5, R.8 as a proof. In Early United
States Dimes 1796-1837, the authors state that proof examples
are known for 1834 JR-1, JR-6, and JR-7. We believe that they meant
JR-5, rather than JR-6. We have only been able to trace eight proof
1834 dimes, including four of JR-1, two of JR-5, and two of
JR-7.The mirrored surfaces of this Gem proof are hidden beneath extremely deep steel patina, with hints of iridescent toning. A slight raised area is evident in the field at the mouth, chin, and neck, although it is very minor and insufficient to discount the proof status of this piece. This lovely proof has the longest continuous provenance of any 1834 proof dime, dating back to the mid-1940s.
