1802 10C AU53 PCGS JR-4, R.4. An exceptional example of the 1802 dime, a low-mintage issue in the series at just 10,975 pieces, all of which were released on or about July 22. This coin is quite sharp, smooth-looking, and possessed of attractive, natural color. While the JR-4 has a Rarity-4 factor, it is in fact one of the more frequently located die pairings of the date. Therefore, this piece is likely headed for a premier type set, where it would certainly be an outstanding addition. An enchanting and wholly original-looking sheen of golden and gray color has appeared on both sides. Minor striking weakness is reported at the centers of each side, typical of the issue, and a series of very faint mint-made adjustment marks can be seen at the center of the obverse when examined closely. The 1802 dime is fairly scarce in lower grades, but at the AU level, offerings are very infrequent. (PCGS 4472)
