Proof Bust Dimes
1829 10C Small 10C PR65 NGC. JR-3, R.8 as a Proof. An impressive proof Gem that boasts reflective fields, an intricate strike, and attractive light to medium golden-brown toning. The peripheries offer glimpses of navy-blue, plum-red, and steel-gray. The JR-3 dies are readily attributed by the double dentil below the 1 in the date.
An important offering of a date rarely encountered in proof format. Our online archives, which begin in 1993, show only a single prior appearance of a proof 1829 dime in a Heritage auction: an uncertified JR-3 example as lot 5678 in our August 2001 Atlanta Signature. Very few other certified proof 1829 dimes have appeared in auction, including a JR-7 dime pedigreed to the Eliasberg Collection. A number of uncertified dimes have been sold as proofs over the years, but many (if not most) of those pieces were prooflike business strikes. Census: 1 in 62, 1 in 63, 1 in 65, 0 finer (10/16).
From The Fenn Family Collection, Part III.
