Description

1807 Dime, MS61, JR-1

1807 10C MS61 NGC. JR-1, R.2. The sole dies for this final Draped Bust date. Deep reddish-gold dominates the obverse, sprinkled with dapples of grayish-violet. Uniform grayish-violet is primary on the reverse, mottled with reddish-gold. Sharply impressed in the centers, and somewhat less so at the margins. David Davis et al. (1984) attribute this typically seen peripheral softness to the large number struck (165,000 pieces) from a single die pair. Furthermore, before starting production of 1807 dimes, the reverse die had been used to coin quarter eagles. Just a few light handing marks are concealed by the toning on the current coin, and clash marks are visible above the date and before Liberty's throat, characteristic of the issue.
