Toned 1835 Proof Capped Bust Dime, One of Perhaps 10 Pieces Coined

1835 10C PR 63 PCGS. JR-4. In his book Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins: 1722-1977, Walter Breen lists two similar die varieties for proof 1835 Capped Bust dimes that he designates as B.1-A and B.1-New. The reverses are similar in that both show a tall 0 in the denomination and a high UN in UNITED. According to Breen, B.1-New displays a small die crack that joins the tip of the lowest arrowhead to the border, but B.1-A does not show this feature. We believe that B.1-A and B.1-New are probably two different die states of JR-4, a fact that, if true, gives this die marriage a roster of 5 known proof specimens out of a total of perhaps 8 known. The present coin shows the thin die crack on the reverse, and surfaces that are well hidden beneath mottled crimson-russet toning. This toning scheme is much more extensive on the reverse as compared to the obverse. The underlying surfaces glow with moderately reflective fields and razor sharp definition. A lovely Select proof for advanced collectors who cherish originality as well as rarity.
