1830/29 Jr-4 FS-301 Capped Bust Dime 10c Grades vf+. In 1830, an engraver at the Philadelphia Mint saved the country some money by taking a leftover 1829 die and punching a 3 and a 0 over the 2 and the 9, respectively, then turning the die over to the coiners for production of coins. The result is the only overdate among the Small Diameter Dimes (1828-1837) and one of only four overdate in the entire Capped Bust Dime series. The overdate obverse was used with two different reverses to create the JR-4 and JR-5 die varieties. The coin at hand is the JR4 reverse. As such, the 1830/29 Dime commands strong premiums in all grades. A Corey's Pick
