Pale gray surfaces with considerable peripheral lustre. A pleasing example of this relatively common variety available through Mint State. This example is one of the four finest of 18 coins recorded in the Dime Census.

This is the second use of the obverse die after JR-1 and the only reverse die use.

The obverse has die cracks from the border to bottom of 9 and faintly to the drapery above; faintly connecting bottoms of 29; from border to star 1, drapery, serif of 1 and lightly to left outer curve of 8; from inner point of star 1 into field over drapery; and connecting outer points of stars 1 and 2, inner points of stars 2 and 3, continuing through field to nose and eye. The reverse has a faint crack connecting the upper half of D to the upper half of first S; a crack from the border to top of first T in STATES over the left upright; and a crack from the right base of F to left base of first A in AMERICA.

Purchased at the 1984 ANA Convention in Detroit, Michigan.
