Description
1796 JR-2 Dime, AU55
Beautiful Blue-Steel and Rose-Russet Coin
1796 10C JR-2, R.4, AU55 NGC. Blue-steel toning congregates
towards the periphery, with rose-russet regions in the center and
white-steel dominating the fields. Abrasions are minimal. Striking
weakness is limited to the central bust on the obverse and the
eagle's wings on the reverse, a pattern common on examples of this
die marriage. The inaugural year of issue for the dime denomination
contains seven die marriages, a record among Early dimes. The JR-2
is of medium rarity, and is neither common like the JR-1 or JR-6,
nor extremely rare like the semi-unique JR-7. The 1796 is also one
of two dates of the Small Eagle Reverse type, with the other being
the much scarcer 1797. This, along with its first year of issue
status and additional availability in high grades, makes the 1796
dime the ideal choice for type coin collectors. The choice surfaces
of this coin similarly make it an excellent option.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 236B, Variety PCGS# 38743, Base PCGS# 4461, Greysheet# 213015)
