Description

Rare Premium Gem JR-9
1821 Small Date Dime

1821 10C Small Date MS66 NGC. JR-9, R.2. This visually arresting example displays gorgeous, unquestionably original patina over each side, in the deepest shades of purple-rose and electric blue, with additional whispers of golden iridescence near the centers. Highly lustrous and created with a precise and powerful strike, this piece is still virtually free from post-striking damage, almost 190 years after leaving the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia.
Clash marks are noted in the reverse fields, especially near the eagle's head, but these are mint-made. Among die varieties of the 1821 Capped Bust dime, JR-9 is relatively common. Survivors are seldom encountered in Mint State, however, and Premium Gems such as this piece are rare.(Registry values: N7079)
