1798 JR-4 Large 8 Draped Bust dime, PCGS G det, Rare & Cheap! DavidKahnRareCoins

Description

1798 JR-4 Large 8 Draped Bust dime, PCGS G details, code 92 for harshly cleaned.  This coin is also very slightly bent.  From a tiny mintage of only 27,550 dimes dated 1798 of all 4 known die varieties...how many could possibly survive today?  Many experts guess that a 4% survival ratio is to be expected for the mint's earliest emissions, which would mean that a mere 1102 1798-dated dimes still exist, in all grades and conditions.  This coin has its issues to be sure, but it is here, it is easily identifiable, and it is a very cool, rare, and historical artifact that you can actually own...all at a price that is unlikely to break the bank.  Enjoy this rare beast!
There is a fairly new book on the Early Dime series that is worthy of your attention.  Written by series experts Winston Zack, Louis Scuderi and Michael Sherrill, and released at the 2015 ANA World's Fair of Money, "Bust Dime Variety Identification Guide" is an information-packed, 130 page, spiral bound, small format book perfect for taking to coin shows.  Unfortunately, we've sold out of all of our copies, so if you happen to come across one, we suggest purchasing it!
