1835 Capped Bust Dime, PR63
Only 10-12 Proofs Believed Known

1835 10C PR63 PCGS. JR-4, R.7. Breen's Proof Encyclopedia aptly describes this variety: "Wide date, 'horned' 8, recut 3, high 5, UN even but too high. Tall 0 in 10 C." Stars 1 and 10 touch denticles at the border. The D ending UNITED is noticeably lower than the rest of the word. The mintage of this early dime issue is unknown, but minuscule by any measure. The best estimate of the number of survivors is estimated by Coin Facts as 10-12 pieces known. This piece offers smoke-gray and aqua patina over surfaces that show considerable cameo contrast. Population: 4 in 63, 6 finer (10/19).
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2007), lot 521; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), lot 2756.
