Description

1796 10C MS62 PCGS. JR-2, R.4. A scarcer variety, JR-2 can be identified by the placement of star 15 right against the bust and a berry below the left edge of the first S in STATES. The die pairing represents 10 percent or less of the extant population of 1796 dimes. This bright, untoned silver-gray example has excellent sharpness on the obverse and flatness on the eagle's breast is more or less standard for the variety. Both sides exhibit notable die clashing, a common occurrence on early dimes. Desirable Uncirculated quality for this first year design. Population: 13 in 62, 29 finer (3/09) for all 1796 varieties.
