CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 10:12 am Your coin is the JR-1 variety. The easiest way to tell is to look at the location of the tip of the 'C' in 'Ten Cents' in proximity to the talons. These photos are from PCGS, and as you can see after I cropped them, the right edge of the 'C' lines up right over the left edge of talon 2 in the scarce JR-2 variety, whereas in the JR-1 variety, the 'C' lines up with the middle of talon 2. Photo #1: Rare JR-2 variety Photo #2: Less scarce JR-1 variety Report this Post to the Staff
murty Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 12:11 pm Thank You Coin Enthusiast.... Does the DOT on the coin mean anything. Thank you again Steve Report this Post to the Staff
CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 12:47 pm I don't think the dot means anything; a lot of these large diameter Capped Bust Dimes (1809-1828) have a dot between the ear and hair curl of the bust. You'd have to ask someone more knowledgeable than myself about why these dots are present, but the presence of the dot doesn't increase the value. Report this Post to the Staff
CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 1:28 pm those dots are called centering dots. they are a reference point for laying out and engraving the die. you can find them on a lot of early american coins. i agree with the jr-1 attribution. vf-details cleaned.
