Hyphenated Date, No outer berry between D and S1 CH BU $26,000.00 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, approaching a Gem distinction. The strike is reasonably sharp, with all stars crisp to their centers and the curls on Liberty clear save for those below her ear which show minor characteristic softness.

Well centered and struck, with minor surface nicks as expected for the grade. The reverse die is from a group of four long neck eagle dies prepared in 1796, three of which were used to coin 1796 Quarter Eagles. The reverse die seen here was first used to coin 1797 Quarter Eagles before striking these 1798 Dimes. A desirable...  more 4152 1798 JR.4 (R-3) CH EF $2,800.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Defect-free and certainly warranting a premium for eye appeal and quality. Sharply impressed and well preserved throughout.

This is the usual obverse die state with the die crack extending...  more 4153 1800 JR.2 (R-5) AU $4,250.00 About Uncirculated. An evenly struck and strong coin for the grade which is toned with vibrant splashes of teal, aqua and gold over lustre. Such toning is generally the result of several decades housed in a Wayte Raymond coin page. Scattered nicks from brief circulation, including a minor mark on Liberty's breasts and a rim scrape over the 'E' of AMERICA. Minor hairlines are present,...  more 4154 1801 JR.1 (R-4) CH EF $9,750.00 Choice Extremely Fine, nearly About Uncirculated. An outstanding collector quality coin that has attractive golden-gray toning with darker blue peripheral accents. Identifiable by a dark toning spot on the lower left wing of the eagle near the shield. Both the obverse and reverse show extensive die rust from improper storage at the Philadelphia Mint, manifested by tiny raised nodules...  more 4155 1802 JR.3 (R-5) CH AU $32,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. The present coin is a whisper away from a full Uncirculated designation. Wonderful iridescent toning of dappled blue and gold at the periphery, lighter gold to the center of the obverse. The reverse is similarly toned with teal around the rim, rose-gold to the center. There is an unfortunate edge scrape in the dentils above stars two and three, and a corresponding...  more 4156 1803 JR.4 (R-5) AU $2,000.00 About Uncirculated with obverse scratches. The obverse has several crossing hairline scratches mostly hidden by Liberty's hair, although one behind her ear is the most prominent. A minor edge mark is found at 8:00 on the obverse.

Quite frosty for this date and generally bright silver throughout. The strike is a trifle soft on Liberty's upper curls and portions of the shield, although the stars are sharp, typical of the variety. Excellent surfaces with minimal signs of handling and no adjustment marks or rim bruises to distract. Although a common coin in most grades, the present example...  more 4159 1805 JR.1 (R-3). 5 berries G $350.00 Good. A solid coin for the grade with smooth, even wear. Speckled gray fields with lighter silver on the devices. No surface problems and attractive for the modest grade. 4160 1805 JR.2. 4 berries CH AU $4,250.00 Choice About Uncirculated, and nearly Mint State. A well struck, lustrous coin that retains bright silver enhanced by delicate gold peripheral toning on both sides. Loaded with eye appeal and very attractive for this common issue.

Brilliant Uncirculated BU $8,000.00 Full mint frost and attractive. Bright silver and lustrous for this date with a touch of delicate peripheral gold. Reasonably sharp for this issue, with both dies showing the usual die clashing in the fields. There is a minor edge flaw through the left obverse dentils that may have been mint caused. Categories  •  Stack's March 2006 → The Northern Bay Collection, Part 2 → U. S. Dimes → U. S. Capped Bust Dimes Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 4162 1809 JR.1 (R-4). Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $9,500.00 Perhaps better but limited by very faint hairlines beneath the gold and blue toning.

Sharp on the reverse too, with more intense blue and gold peripheral toning, lighter silver at the center. Identifiable by a minute planchet void...  more 4163 1809 JR.1 (R-4) CH AU $1,900.00 Choice About Uncirculated. A sharp coin and desirable despite minor evidence of gentle cleaning long ago. Toned bright silver with a frame of peripheral gold and blue mostly on the reverse. A sharply struck coin that has minimal evidence of handling marks, and an early die state before the reverse die cracked. First year of issue and always difficult to find in high grade. 4164 1811/09 JR.1 (R-3) AU $1,100.00 About Uncirculated. The surfaces have more microscopic disturbances than normally encountered, peppering both the obverse and reverse. Toned with attractive light blue and russet in the fields. Early reverse die state with two minor cracks above the eagle and rim crumbling above 'MER'. 4165 1814 JR.1 (R-3). Small Date. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $70,000.00 Gorgeous toning ranges from sea-green to bright yellow-gold over vibrant lustre. The strike is very sharp save for a couple of obverse stars and the eagle's claws, both areas notoriously soft on this die pairing. A middle die state with minor clashing present around the eagle and swelling through 'ICA'. Liberty's cheek and the fields are especially clean, and the present coin is certainly...  more 4166 1814 JR.3. Large Date. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,400.00 The obverse is Brilliant Uncirculated while the reverse is fully Choice. A loupe will discover a couple of faint hairlines on Liberty's face and bust which limit the grade. Bright silver is dominant with a touch of peripheral gold on both sides and a spot of colorful purple near the denomination. Middle die state with obverse swelling on the first two stars, reverse die cracks right...  more 4167 1820 JR.2 (R-3) CH EF $750.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Attractively toned in dark silver to gray with perhipheral hints of russet and blue. A middle die state with die clashing on the reverse.

Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $4,000.00 A sharply impressed coin that is graced by attractive russet and blue peripheral toning.

Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $2,800.00 Frosty with light gray to silver and pleasing to the eye. An average strike with softness on Liberty's uppermost curls and the eagle's thigh and claws. A couple of trivial nicks are found on the inside of stars five and six. Both dies show clashing from the central devices. 4170 1821 JR.4. Large Date. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $1,200.00 - with claims to Choice. An average strike with slight weakness on Liberty's uppermost curls and the eagle's neck. Silver-gray at the centers with a splash of peripheral blue and gold to frame the devices. The surfaces are clean and attractive for the grade. 4171 1821 JR.5 (R-3). Large Date. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $4,250.00 Full mint frost with lovely peripheral iridescence. Excellent surfaces but identifiable by a very minor hairline above Liberty's cap. Sharply struck on all but the eagle's claws, and these are always found thus. Splendid eye appeal for the grade. 4172 1821 JR.10 (R-3). Small Date. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated VERY CH BU $3,600.00 Sharp and attractive with rich golden peripheral toning on the obverse and reverse, and framed by iridescent hues. Reasonably sharp on the devices, with softness found on the centers of the last few stars and the right claws. An impressive example of this issue, probably well within the Condition Census for the variety. 4173 1822 JR.1 (R-3). Gem Brilliant Uncirculated GEM BU $130,000.00 A stunning example of this elusive date and certainly close to if not The Finest Known. Mintage for the year was reported to be 100,000 pieces, although given the number that survive this figure may be too high or the mintage may have included coins dated 1821. Years of study have concluded that the 1822 Dime is the rarest Capped Bust Dime from 1809 through 1837, and one of the most difficult...  more 4174 1823/2 JR.1 (R-3). Small Es AU $500.00 About Uncirculated. Golden-gray throughout and evenly toned. There are two light scratches crossing Liberty, one down from her eye to lower curls, the other from her chin down to her clasp and curl below. Both are light enough to escape casual discovery. 4175 1823/2 JR.3. Large E's. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Prooflike obverse GEM BU $13,000.00 Here is a stunning coin that shows full deep frost on Liberty with reflective fields surrounding. Boldly excuted with sharp curls and stars on the obverse, and the reverse sharp on all devices except for the claws and thigh of the eagle, which show minor striking softness. Light silver with golden peripheral highlights and a touch of blue in the fields. One minor speck in the dentils above...  more 4176 1823/2 JR.3. Large Es. Brilliant Uncirculated BU $2,000.00 Virtually a Choice example. Gorgeous blue, sea-green and gold peripheral toning on both sides, with the centers lighter silver.

Clean surfaces and an attractive coin for the date collector. Curiously, this obverse...  more Page 1 of 13  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
