***Auction Highlight*** 1830/29 Jr-5 R-5 NUMISMATIC RARITY; FS-301 Only 8 Survive in ms60 OR higher Capped Bust Dime 10c Graded BU+ By USCG. NUMISMATIC RARITY Alert! Up for auction is an Incredibly Rare Capped Bust Dime. Up for Auction is the 1830/29 JR-5 Variety. We have never, nor do we expect ever to bring another to auction. Per Ron Guth of PCGS “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. JR-4 is a common variety, but the JR-5 variety is quite rare (Rarity 5, only 31-75 known). As such, the 1830/29 Dime commands strong premiums in most grades, especially at the higher end. The 1830/29 Dimes represent approximately one-sixth of the total population of 1830 Dimes. Only a handful of Mint State examples survive. We know of fewer than a dozen different Mint State examples, including the incredible JR-5 sold as part of the Pogue Family collection in 2016.” PCGS estimates that only 500 survive in all grades and only 8 examples survive in ms60 and higher. I have included the reverse image of an ms62 from pcgs that sold at auction in 2006, to illustrate the lack of neck feathers on this issue.
