Finest Certified 1823/2 Capped Bust Dime 1823/2 Capped Bust Dime. JR-3. Rarity-2. Large Es. MS-66+ * (NGC). An extraordinary example of both the type and variety that would do justice to the finest numismatic cabinet. Brilliant apart from subtle pale apricot peripheral highlights, the reverse is universally satiny in texture while the obverse is semi-prooflike in finish. Both sides are sharply to fully struck over all but a few isolated high points. Expertly preserved and all but pristine, this is a gorgeous Gem worthy of the strongest bids. Mint records indicate a modest mintage of 440,000 dimes during calendar year 1823. Three die marriages are known for examples bearing this date, using two obverse dies that are both 1823/2 overdates. JR-3, offered here, represents the only use of this particular obverse die, paired here with the Large Es reverse. While none of the die varieties of this issue are rare in an absolute sense, the Wide Border Capped Bust dime as a design type is a significant condition rarity in the finest Mint State grades, as here. In fact, this is the single finest 1823/2 dime of any variety known to PCGS and NGC, its offering in this sale representing a fleeting bidding opportunity for the numismatist that will accept nothing but the best for their collection. NGC Census (all die marriages of the issue): just 1; 0 finer. PCGS has yet to certify an 1823/2 dime above the MS-66 level. PCGS# 4499. NGC ID: 2372. Click here for certification details from NGC.
