Spectacular Gem 1830/29 JR-4 Dime The Gardner Specimen Second Finest Known 1830/29 Capped Bust Dime. JR-4. Rarity-2. MS-66 * (NGC). This is a truly lovely jewel, displaying a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors across the obverse. Yellow and tangerine hues glow from the center, with sapphire and turquoise iridescence near at the rims. Delicate peach and bronze on the reverse fully showcases the prooflike fields. These fields surround uniformly bold and lustrous design elements that show no handling. The overall aesthetic effect is only enhanced by direct lighting. As the only overdate in the Small Dentils, Capped Bust dime series, the 1830/29 issue has always received special attention from collectors. It was the product of two distinct die pairings, JR-4 and JR-5, each sharing a single obverse die. Each variety is of similar rarity and they are readily available in circulated grades. The JR-4 die pair is notable as having struck Proof specimens, of which just two or three are known. Among circulation strikes, the present example sits high in the Condition Census, ranking second behind just the MS-67 (PCGS) from the Joseph C. Thomas Collection. With its combination of astounding eye appeal and superior technical characteristics, this piece represents a significant opportunity for advanced early dime enthusiasts. Earlier provenance to the incomparable collection of Eugene H. Gardner confirms the overall quality. Provenance: Ex David Lawrence, privately in July 2006; Heritage's sale of the Eugene H. Gardner Collection, June 2014, lot 30238. NGC Census (both die marriages of the 1830/29): 1; 2 finer (MS-67 * finest). PCGS# 4519. NGC ID: 237A. Click here for certification details from NGC.
