- Scarce Gem 1832 JR-7 Capped Bust Dime Nearly Finest Known 1832 Capped Bust Dime. JR-7. Rarity-3. MS-66 (NGC). Subtle prooflike reflectivity gleams across the fields of this brilliant Gem, nicely emphasizing the richly frosted devices at center. The coin is overall brilliant and pearlescent, with just a touch of golden patina near the borders. It is well struck for the issue and is free of notable traces of handling. The JR-7 variety presents a challenge for advanced specialists, with the authors of Early United States Dimescalling it "perhaps the most difficult 1832 dime to locate in high grades." Fortunately, the present piece ranks high in the Condition Census for the JR-7 variety, which is topped by the magnificent MS-66+ (PCGS) Pogue specimen. The current piece is tied with just the Eliasberg specimen at the MS-66 level. This offering marks the second time we have handled this jewel in recent decades, having previously featured it over a dozen years ago in our June 2006 sale. Provenance: Ex our (American Numismatic Rarities') sale of June 2006, lot 1232; Heritage's sale of the Zerbe Collection, July 2003, lot 6530; Heritage’s sale of the Joseph C. Thomas Collection, April 2009, lot 2237. NGC Census: 4; just 1 finer in MS-67. PCGS# 4521. NGC ID: 237C. Click here for certification details from NGC.
