Attribution Confirmation Requested: 1827 Capped Bust dime (49 Kb)

I'm thinking JR-13. Grade it too, if you want. It's only a quick image, a little difficult to take because the coin has a somewhat prooflike obverse. For a variety of reasons, the 1827 is my favorite date for dimes. It's right between the run of scarcer dates through 1825, yet is somewhat tougher than the more common dates from 1829 on.

Take a look at the diagnostics for the 1827 JR-11. I think that's what you have on your hands. Holdered today, that's likely an AU or slightly better coin. I like it.

Sorry, your coin appears to be the JR-13.

 

I can't really tell the difference between AU and MS with pictures, so I will conservatively grade it AU58+...

[Quizno-migration]

aha, yes, didn't check the reverse closely, JR13 it is!

[James_OldeTowne]

I agree with JR-13, though I originally typed "JR-3".

 

I think the JR-13 is more common than the R.3 rating currently assigned. What do you think?

 

Sadly, it isn't UNC .

I do not know, I just started collecting CBDs.

 

After taking another look, I was half asleep on my first post, I see what looks to be wear on the drapery and the talons. I still think it could be AU...
