The 1821 Small Date Dime resulted from an interesting slip-up at the Mint. Instead of using the normal date punch for a Dime, the engraver picked up the date punch for a Quarter Eagle (the smallest-sized coin made in 1821). The result is an 1821 Dime with a date that is much smaller than normal, and which has a flat-base 2 instead of the usual curl-base. Surprisingly, three different obverse dies (out of eight) were made with the small date, resulting in three die varieties (LM-8, LM-9, and LM-10).
Of the three 1821 Small Date varieties, the JR-10 is the least common, but only by a small margin. In 1984 suggested the possibility that three Mint State examples of this variety existed, but the number may be higher today. The finest example appears to be a single PCGS MS64.
