1796 Draped Bust Dime. JR-3. Rarity 5. Choice VF. Once cleaned, now attractively toned. On several examples “the reverse shows a planchet cut at 7 to 8 o’clock due to a small chip adhering to the die. The metal chip moves along the edge, ranging between U and T1.” This coin exhibits this diagnostic, verifying its authenticity. JR-3 is the third rarest die marriage for 1796. An important and elusive coin of this first year of the denomination and of the two-year type.

From the CJR Collection.
