Description

Lovely 1834 JR-5 Dime, PR65
The Boyd-Starr Specimen

1834 10C Large 4 PR65 NGC. JR-5, R.8 as a proof. In Early United States Dimes 1796-1837, the authors state that proof examples are known for 1834 JR-1, JR-6, and JR-7. We believe that they meant JR-5, rather than JR-6. We have only been able to trace eight proof 1834 dimes, including four of JR-1, two of JR-5, and two of JR-7.
The mirrored surfaces of this Gem proof are hidden beneath extremely deep steel patina, with hints of iridescent toning. A slight raised area is evident in the field at the mouth, chin, and neck, although it is very minor and insufficient to discount the proof status of this piece. This lovely proof has the longest continuous provenance of any 1834 proof dime, dating back to the mid 1940s.
