The only obverse die use and the second reverse die use after JR-5.

Perfect obverse. The reverse has numerous fine die cracks as described in the Dime Book with a very heavy crack through ATES. Crack number 6 in this reference should read: rim through right diagonal of M and bases of ER to rim over .

Russell and Brenda Logan also owned an example of this die variety that was "slabbed" by Thomas Cains shortly after it was minted. This is contained in the knop of a free blown pitcher. Russell Logan prepared an article about these items for Volume 12, Issue 3 of the Journal. In "Slabbing Circa 1840" he discussed Brenda's interest in whale oil lamps. Illustrated is the Thomas Cains pitcher with closeup photos of the dime. As fascinating as this article is, nothing compares to seeing this pitcher first hand. Thank you, Brenda, for sharing this treasure.
