Description
1796 Dime, AU50
Rare JR-3 Die Marriage
Excellent Color and Detail
1796 10C JR-3, R.5, AU50 NGC. Ex: Hilt Collection. JR-3 is
one of the rarest 1796 dime varieties, and is especially
challenging in high grades; a few Mint State pieces are known, but
are prohibitively rare. This AU representative is in an
intermediate die state, heavily cracked on the reverse near the
first T in STATES, but not to the extent seen on later stages of
this marriage. The strike is boldly executed, with remarkably
strong definition along the upper obverse and lower reverse
periphery, which is often weak on this issue. The central elements
retain sharp details, with areas of gold and olive highlighting
iridescent lavender-gray patina overall. A small planchet cut at 7
o'clock on the reverse is characteristic of many examples of this
issue, caused by a piece of metal adhering to the die face; this
mint-made striking anomaly should not be mistaken for post-mint
damage.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 236B, Variety PCGS# 38744, Base PCGS# 4461, Greysheet# 213016)
