Lot Title:

1831 JR-1 AU-50, 1834 JR-4 AU-50, and 1835 JR-9 AU-50.

Description:
|
All three of the Capped Bust dimes included in this lot are extremely original, high quality examples, and none of them have any problems whatsoever. The trio commences with an 1831 JR-1 that grades AU-50 and displays wholesome beige and wheat-yellow toning. It is an amazingly well-struck piece. The 1834 JR-4 also grades AU-50 and likewise features an incredible strike. Although it retains some tan color similar to the previous coin, there is some darker olive-drab color overlaying the central areas. Finally, an 1835 JR-9 grades AU-50, but it also features a tiny mint-made clipped planchet at 2:00 of the obverse. This coin’s surfaces are considerably patinated with deep olive-brown color that is purely original. Three coin lot.
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.

1831 NGC Unc details/stained.

References cite a very low condition census for 1831 JR-6, which makes this a particularly interesting example. NGC offers a "stained" disclaimer along with an "UNC DETAILS" grade, but we believe... |

1831 (JR-5, R.1) PCGS MS-61 (rattler).

The reverse is far the more attractive side from a technical standpoint, grading MS-63 quite easily all by itself. A peculiar silvery disturbance in the obverse lower right field is all the more... |

1831 (JR-3) PCGS Genuine.
|
|
JR-3 is not indicated on the slab, and is one of the common die-marriages for 1831. The PCGS Genuine-92 code does indicate "cleaning", but apparently, that esteemed company elected not to include an... |

1831 JR-3 AU/lightly cleaned.
|
|
The predominantly pale aspect is derived from a fairly light cleaning that caused little damage to the flowline luster. This coin still retains some original luster, and subsequent natural retoning... |
