Lot Title:
|
1820 JR-2 "Office Boy Reverse". AU.
|
|
Description:
|
With this example appearing to grade very near the "about-uncirculated" level, this "Office Boy Reverse" dime is coveted by variety collectors for the whimsical and nearly ludicrous errors in the die used to strike the reverse. All the proper diagnostics for JR-2 are clearly defined, most importantly the laughably repunched D of UNITED, and the blatantly joined AM of AMERICA, along with clumsy recutting of other letters. Even aside from the wonderful allure of the office boy reverse, this is an amazingly nice bust dime, featuring concentric, nearly bull's eye rings of teal-green and electric-blue iridescence at the peripheral details, along with sparkles of luster in the protected areas. Truly a "gem" of a circulated coin. Marvelous!
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
