- Incredible Gem 1821 Large Date Dime Just 3 Finer 1821 Capped Bust Dime. JR-6. Rarity-2. Large Date. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. A dazzling Gem with subtle hints of bronze and peach patina across otherwise brilliant surfaces. The satiny and reflective tendencies in the fields nicely frame the more densely frosted devices. Traces of the usual softness remain at the centers, but the peripheral devices are incredibly distinct. Captivating to examine under a light source. Just 3 have been graded finer by PCGS. Many Americans, particularly those far from Philadelphia, didn’t know quite what to make of dimes once their circulation became more widespread in the early 1820s. In the hills of western North Carolina, newspaper accounts suggest they circulated at the same value as the more valuable and more common one real coins of the Spanish-American mints, current for 12-1/2 cents rather than 10. In 1821, according to a piece published in the Western Carolinian, dimes became common enough that their value was understood to be 10 cents. It is no coincidence that more dimes were struck in 1820 and 1821 than had been struck from the introduction of the denomination in 1796 to the issuance of the most recent emission in 1814. Even so, survivors of this issue remain scarce in Uncirculated grades, with only perhaps 125 known across both the Large Date and Small Date varieties. This one is certainly among the finest of this paltry population, making it an excellent candidate for an advanced PCGS Registry Set. Provenance: From the Iron Eagle Collection.
