1835 Capped Bust Dime, JR-4, PR64
Perhaps a Dozen Known in All Grades

1835 10C PR64 PCGS. CAC. JR-4, Low R.7 as Proof. Proof 1835 dimes are only known from the JR-1 and JR-4 die marriages, with perhaps a dozen survivors in all grades. PCGS and NGC have graded a total of 19 proof 1835 dimes in grades from PR62 to PR67, including likely resubmissions. This piece is at the middle level of that range yet is highly desirable. Both sides are uniformly bright and radiate with intensity that is undiminished by the gorgeous electric-blue and russet peripheral iridescence. The powerful strike elicits every last design feature and is a harbinger of the bold definition that would characterize many business strikes following the introduction of steam power to the Mint in 1836. An attractive and historically significant specimen that deserves a carefully considered bid. CAC-endorsed in an old green label holder. Population: 3 in 64, 3 finer. CAC: 1 in 64, 2 finer (6/24).
