Gem 1831 JR-5 Dime Tied for Second Finest Known 1831 Capped Bust Dime. JR-5. Rarity-1. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. This handsome Gem displays original patina of gold, olive, and steel blue that contrasts the silvery pearlescence beneath. The surfaces are smooth and appealing, displaying uniformly satiny luster across all regions. It is sharply struck for the issue, with evidence of clashing accompanying the focal elements of each side. JR-5 is one of just six known varieties for the year, all of which are relatively available in grades below Choice or Gem Mint State. The Condition Census for this die pair is topped by the magnificent MS-68 (PCGS) Pogue specimen, which also ranks as the finest of any from this type, 1828 through 1837. The present example sits firmly at second place on this census, tied with at least five additional examples at the MS-65 grade. It is an attractive and choice example and should appeal to both specialists and type collectors. Provenance: Ex Heritage's sale of July 2010, lot 3459. PCGS Population: 22; 13 finer (all 1831 varieties). PCGS# 4520. NGC ID: 237B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
