Attractive 1822 Bust Dime, JR-1, MS64 ★

1822 10C MS64 ★ NGC. JR-1, R.4. The only 1822 dime variety and the most elusive date in the Capped Bust dime series, this issue is highly sought after at all levels. Survivors are typically only Good or Very Good, and just 10 to 15 pieces are believed extant in Mint State. This is an especially attractive specimen, and is also the only example to receive NGC's coveted Star designation, indicating outstanding eye appeal. The striking details are well brought up in most areas, with the only area of weakness seen on the first three stars. The mint luster is slightly subdued by layers of deep purple-gray and cobalt-blue patina that cover both sides. This is an exceptional opportunity for the dime specialist or the aficionado of high quality rarities. Census: 1 in 64 ★ , 2 finer (2/09).
Ex: Heritage (4/2006), lot 391.
