1835. JR-1. Rarity 8 or Unique. NGC graded Proof 66. According to Early United States Dimes 1796 - 1837 published in 1984 by the John Reich Collectors Society, the 10¢ coins are quite common in the variety of JR-1 for business strikes (marked as R-1), but it is totally a different story for proof strikes. The authors indicate that they have seen only one type of proof, which matches the JR-4 variety depicted in their book (see the last paragraph on page 222 for the claim and see page 228 for the variety JR-4). Actually, all other 1835 10¢ proof coins offered to the public so far by the major auction firms match the JR-4 die variety, except this particular example. Upon close inspection, it is very easy to tell that the location of the scroll and the layout of Star-7 on this coin, which match the JR-1 variety, are totally different from the ones on the other coins of JR-4 variety. This could be the only specimen known in JR-1, even though NGC holder doesn't indicate the variety, the extreme rarity of this coin should be recognized. Besides probably being unique, this coin also exhibits a superlative degree of beauty. It has monster old-time toning on both sides, smooth problem-free surfaces, and most importantly gorgeous eye appeal emphasized by a vibrant bluish sparkle. A true gem with the highest grade at NGC for either variety. Pop 2 (for both varieties); none finer at NGC. One exceeding at PCGS in 67 (a JR-4 example). Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
