1829 Capped Bust Dime. JR-12. Rarity-3. Medium 10 C. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. This lovely Gem exhibits subtle powder blue and champagne-pink highlights to dominant slate-gray patina. The surfaces are lustrous, smooth and sport razor sharp striking detail to all major design elements. With a reported mintage of 770,000 pieces for the year, 12 known die marriages were employed to strike the dimes of 1829. The JR-12 is one of only two die pairings that correspond to the Medium 10 C. Guide Bookvariety (the other is JR-11). Writing in the 2015 reference Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide, Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill describe this die pairing as "moderately common in low grade, but difficult to find in AU or MS." The John Reich Collectors Society reports an MS-65 example as "finest seen" for the 1829 JR-12 variety as of 1984. The introduction of third party certification in the years since has provided a clearer understanding of the Condition Census for many die marriages of early United States coins, but even so the present example still qualifies for that impressive distinction. A superior quality example of the type, date and variety that is sure to appeal to advanced collectors. This lot includes NGC Photo Proof #3456452-001 for this coin. The Photo Proof is available to the winning bidder upon request to Stack's Bowers Galleries at the close of the auction. NGC Census (JR-12 attribution only): 1; 1 finer (MS-66). PCGS# 38838.
