Description
1837 Capped Bust Dime, Reduced Size 10c, CACG MS66+ CAC, JR-3, R.2 – Top Pop
This is a splendid coin that shows outstanding mint luster and is virtually free from toning; however, the coin has very attractive light golden toning. The striking details are sharp throughout, and there are no mentionable or noticeable marks on either side. There are four varieties of the 1837 Reduced size Capped Bust Dime. Of these, two share the same reverse, JR-3 and JR-4. The JR-3 variety is distinguished by the obverse that is common to JR-1, JR-2, and JR-3, which shows star 7 pointing to the top of the curl and a block 8 in the date. While JR-3 dimes are fairly common in circulated grades, they are scarce in Mint condition. Only ten coins have been certified in MS66 of all varieties by both of the major services. CACG has graded this one at MS-66+ (10/21).
