1827 JR-6. PCGS graded MS-65+. Lovely purple, gold and blue toning on both sides. Star 6 is high and close to a denticle. This coinage date is the second of just four early dimes to exceed the one million coin mark with a mintage of 1,215,000 dimes. While 13 varieties are known from a combination of nine obverse and 10 reverse dies, one of these die marriages (JR-10) is only known in Proof. This JR-1 variety is quite common, however, in higher demand due to its separate listing in the Guide Book. Perhaps the Guide Book notation of "rare" for this Rarity-2 variety could be revised. A frosty gem with strong underlying luster from the dies that reinforce the beauty of the original toning. Pop 1; 2 finer in 66 (PCGS # 4504) . Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.
