<B>1833<10C> JR-9, R.2. Reiver state c.--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details.</B></I> This coin has been cleaned with an abrasive which has left heavy hairlines at the center of the obverse, and removed all but a trace of luster. Bright silver with a hint of gold starting to return to the periphery. Sharply impressed on the obverse, while the reverse is sharp on all save for the eagle's neck. A very late reverse die state with strong die cracks from the left wing tip, the ATE in STATES with a raised retained cud below AT to the scroll, and sharp clashmarks in the field from Liberty's head surrounding the eagle. This die state is not reported in <I>Early United States Dimes 1796-1837</B></I> and is probably one of the last struck from this die.<BR> Although not reported so far as we know, this die state is obviously a remarriage of this obverse and reverse. Most examples of the JR-9 variety show the early die state of the reverse or the later state with a single die crack through the right side of the A in STATES to the scroll. The obverse die was then removed from the press, and the JR-10 variety was coined using this same reverse die with the die crack through the A of STATES. While coining the JR-10 variety of 1833, the reverse die clashed heavily with the obverse, leaving Liberty's head outlined around the eagle. The JR-9 obverse returned to the coining press and additional coins were struck, and a new die crack appeared through the TE of STATES to the scroll, and a retained cud formed below those letters. Soon after this point, the reverse was retired.<BR><I>Ex: Privately from ANA Sale (February 1987).</B></I> Envelope Included.
