JR-2.The D in UNITED and the second S in STATES are recut. Superb golden prooflike reflective surfaces. A scarce variety in high grade. Probably condition census or very near so. CAC. Purchased from David Kahn Rare Coins at the 2014 FUN show.

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1831 Dime has the third-largest mintage of any of the Small Diameter Dimes, making it a target for type collectors looking for good value. Mint State examples are plentiful, with MS63 being the most oft-seen grade. A small number of superb example exist, including a monster MS68 that was once part of the Pogue Family collection and which sold for a record $94,000 in 2016.

Included in the total mintage are six different die varieties. Fortunately, none of the varieties is particularly rare, making it possible to put together a complete set without too much difficulty.
