An extremely attractive example with virtually complete frosty white lustre and lovely iridescent toning along the borders. Some central weakness is noted on either side. The overdate features are boldly visible behind the digit 4. Additional doubling is visible on the top surface of the digit 8. This is the finest example listed in the Dime Census. This is considered a scarce variety although available in all grades through Mint State and Proof. Stack's graded this "Brilliant Uncirculated" in the Robison Collection.

No dimes were minted in 1824! It is generally believed that the 100,000 dimes recorded as delivered on August 22, 1825 were the coins bearing the 1824 over 2 overdate. The two known varieties were produced from a single obverse die combined with two reverse dies.

This is the second obverse die use after JR-2 and the only use of the reverse die.

Very light obverse and reverse clash marks are visible. The obverse has a faint die crack through stars 6 and 7 into the field over the cap. Another extremely light die crack from the cap joins stars 8, 9, and 10. A small die flaw is visible on the border left of the space between stars 5 and 6. The reverse has a light die crack through the tops of 10 C and into the olive leaves with a much heavier die crack through the tops of UNIT and a further crack through the bases of ITED ST.

From Stack's sale of the Robison Collection, Lot 1006.
