1805 10C 4 Berries MS (PCGS#4477)

August 2011 Chicago ANA - Rarities Night

ロット詳細: 1805 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-2. 4 Berries. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Nice things sometimes come in groups, and here is another truly memorable early American silver coin, joining others throughout the present catalog. It is a lustrous steel-gray specimen ideal for a type set to illustrate the Draped Bust obverse with the Large Eagle reverse. The luster is bold with cartwheel and rainbow iridescence. The piece is nicely struck overall, far better than typically encountered (many of this design type are almost flat), no doubt accounting, in addition to the great eye appeal, to the CAC badge of approval. On the obverse under magnification a crack is seen at the letters ERT in LIBERTY, as well as an interesting die clash at Liberty’s neck and chin. Among the finest examples known from this die pair, and with its notable strike, this lovely early dime is worthy of a very strong bid. If you are building a type set it will forever answer your requirement for a top level coin in  Draped Bust dime. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eJemzWbiiQ0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
