Description
Remarkable Prooflike Small Date
MS65 ★ 1828 Dime, JR-1
1828 10C Small Date MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. JR-1, R.2. Simply
astounding quality for this or any other Small Size Bust dime.
Basically untoned surfaces are boldly detailed save for minor
softness on the eagle's neck feathers, with die clashing more
noticeable on the reverse. The depth of the mirrored reflectivity
is so pronounced that one must wonder if this coin was used as some
type of presentation piece to show off the capabilities of the
Mint's new equipment, first used in 1828. The fragile fields
display a few scattered flecks of toning, and the most
inconsequential scuffiness is unfairly heightened by the glassy
finish. Just two die varieties are known for this date, both
meriting separate Guide Book listings due to differences in
the size of the date logotype. Census: 1 in 65 Prooflike, 1 finer
without a Prooflike designation (3/09).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 6187.
