1822 10C MS66 NGC.
1822 10C MS66 NGC. JR-1. R.3, the only dies. Incredibly, we offer a significantly finer example of this prized rarity in the Capped Bust series. It is quite likely that the listed mintage of 100,000 pieces struck in 1822 may include a large majority of coins that were actually dated 1821, as suggested by Breen, and experts generally conclude that approximately 300 pieces are extant in all grades. This puts the 1822 Bust Dime in elite company as one of the most challenging issues of the denomination in the entire run of U.S. numismatics. Like the Select example just offered, the striking details on this finest certified business strike 1822 (the James Stack specimen was graded PR66 by PCGS) are well executed save for the lower obverse stars. Rich golden-violet and turquoise toning is seen intermittently, leaving relatively small areas of brilliance on the left sides of both obverse and reverse. The underlying luster is bright and satiny, and close inspection yields only a few paper-thin blemishes in the fields. An important offering for the specialist or for the connoisseur of finest certified rarities. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (11/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
