Description
1796 Draped Bust Dime, AU55
JR-2, Sharp and Attractive
1796 10C JR-2, R.4, AU55 PCGS. A scarcer variety from the
initial small eagle issue -- a sharp, attractive example of this
two-year type. Just 22,135 pieces were struck, with an estimated
1,750 pieces of the Mint's output from the JR-2 die pair. The
entire mintage was remarkably well-struck considering the
rudimentary conditions of the Mint in 1796, and this Choice example
displays strong details despite minimal circulation. Rich rose-gold
and blue-gray patina covers both sides of the coin, where hints of
mint luster remain among the devices. There are no notable
abrasions or marks, although the coin displays the usual evidence
of die clashing on both the obverse and the reverse. An outline of
Liberty's chin, mouth, and nose can be seen with clarity beneath
the eagle's right (facing) wing from die clashing. Population: 23
in 55, 84 finer (11/19).Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2014), lot 5552.
