1797 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-4. 13 Stars. AU Details--Environmental

1797 Draped Bust Dime. JR-2. Rarity-4. 13 Stars. AU Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS). Offered is a highly collectible example of this challenging JR number, desirable for the general sharpness of detail that it displays. Both sides are somewhat dark, the obverse in particular also a bit rough, but the deep charcoal-mauve patina is relatively pleasing, especially to those who cherish richly toned old silver. Lack of all but trivial wear more than compensates for a touch of typical striking softness to the central high points. The impression is also well centered with complete, nicely balanced border denticulation framing both sides. The final date in the historic Draped Bust, Small Eagle dime series, the 1797 has an extant population of perhaps just 200 to 275 coins across two confirmed die marriages. This estimate is per Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill in their 2015 reference Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide. JR-2, offered here, is readily attributable not only by the 13-star obverse count, but also the knobbed 9 in the date. It is more conditionally challenging than its JR-1 counterpart with only three (as opposed to six) examples believed extant in Mint State. PCGS# 4463. NGC ID: 236D.
