10C 1830/29 PCGS MS64

What an amazing VERY high end coin! We purchased this out of our January Auction. We did resubmit it for a +. From time to time when we see really outstanding pieces that we think are too cheap, we will step out and buy them. We do NOT seek to compete with our customers in our auctions. Here is the catalog description: In 1830, two reverse dies were paired with an obverse die originally prepared in 1829 but never used, so the 30 was punched over the 29 (with a strong glass you can make out the top loop of the 9 at the top right of the 0 and the bulb of the base of the 9 can be seen inside the lower left of the 0. Within the condition census of the JR-4 variety, and for both varieties of the 30/29; only three are graded finer at PCGS. Overall this coin has a great look. Rich satiny silver centers yield to a peripheral gold/tan/russet/burnt orange toning “frame” that provides wonderful contrast. The devices are very well struck for an example of this variety, with exceptional depth and clarity of all details. On very close inspection we note a few random ticks, nothing that is distracting to the eye or inappropriate for the assigned grade. PCGS 2, NGC 2, CAC 1. Only one PCGS coin has ever sold in auction, clearly NOT this coin, and it realized $7,931 in September 2014. The current PCGS value is $7,500 and with this near-gem being CAC-approved, we think this coin could bring more. An NGC example of the JR-5, also considered R-2, sold for $9,400 in January 2015. An important opportunity for any Bust dime collector, as they are prohibitively rare in any grade higher! This coin really is a “must see” for any Bust Dime collector!
