Bust Dimes
1823/2 10C Large E's, JR-3, R.2, MS62 NGC. Beautiful orange-gold toning fills the fields of this semiprooflike Bust dime. The borders offer sea-green patina with glimpses of cherry-red. Smooth aside from minor marks near the branch stem and the 1 in the date. An unlisted late die state with anomalous curved raised areas near the final date digit; a puzzle for the advanced specialist to ponder. Census (all varieties): 12 in 62, 39 finer (11/16).
