Ron Guth

The 1827 Capped Bust Dime is one of the most common dates of the type, with a rarity similar to that of the 1833, but not as plentiful as the 1835. The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census consists entirely of MS65 and better examples. The best example is a Prooflike NGC MS67 formerly in the Southwest Collection.

Thirteen different die combinations comprise the entire mintage. The strike quality is rarely 100% and one or more of the stars may be weak (these flaws are typical of coins struck in an "open" collar). Surface characteristics range from frosty and lustrous to bright and prooflike.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
