Guide Book 'Partial Drapery' Variety
Ex: Eugene Gardner

1838 10C Partial Drapery, F-108a, R.4, MS67 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. The scarce Partial Drapery variety, listed in the Guide Book at a substantial premium over the usual Large Stars 1838 dime. The "drapery" beneath Liberty's elbow is a clash mark from the upright of the E in DIME. The 1838 Fortin-108a is the sole Partial Drapery die variety. The Drapery subtype was introduced in 1840. This is a well-struck and virtually pristine Superb Gem. Aquamarine, stone-gray, and golden-brown toning embraces lustrous and unimprovable surfaces. Partial Drapery Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 67, 0 finer (10/22).
