Description

1807 MS 65. JR-1, R.21, the only variety of the year. One of the most thrilling examples we have encountered of this early United States dime. The 1807 is known for its weakness of strike on the left side and the general poor impressions that come from this die pair. This example is superior in every respect, with fully detailed central devices, a large percentage of the obverse denticles, and even half of the reverse denticles show. This coin comes from the later states of the dies, with clash marks evident in the right obverse fields, and with some weakness on the left side. The most impressive aspect of this coin is the cleanliness of the surfaces, the depth of the original mint frost, and the lack of any marks or defects. It is hard to imagine a finer specimen than the example offered here.
