adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 941 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:14 pm I'll say AU55. The dark streak on the reverse is the only real detractor, IMO. Otherwise a very nice example. Edited by adam126402 Yesterday 11:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18855 Posts	Posted Today 3H 5M ago this is pretty impressive for an early dime. I'm going to go with AU55 or MS62. I'm leaning toward the MS side interesting history on the early dimes In the early 19th century, U.S. Mint operations were still developing, and striking pressure was adjusted manually. Test strikes were sometimes made at reduced pressure to find the correct setting. If the pressure was too low, the dies would leave parallel lines on the coin. This was common on early silver coins, including half dollars and dimes, before standardized press calibration became routine. I'm pretty certain this is what we see on the obv across the lower hair. Also the 1796-1807 Draped Bust dimes were minted in the Mint's formative years, and many examples show mint-caused adjustment marks. I'm thinking this what occurred on the rev rim from K3-K6 here is my 4 berry not quite the quite of this one Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted Today 1H 11M ago Thanks for the grades so far--I will reveal it tomorrow. Thanks especially to Panzaldi for the history--yeah, a lot of these early dimes have soft/weak strikes. I espeically like how strong the eagle's face is on this one. It is one of my bucket list goals to collect nice specimens of all 10 of the dates (not every variety) for draped bust dimes, and at least the first few years of capped bust dimes. I love dimes.
