1820 1O C.; New variation or mis-graded?

#1 Unread post by Hobub »

I happened to see this in my searches and noticed it looked odd to me as I am relatively familiar with the JR scale on Bust dimes. Having studied the Dave Davis book to help identify my own collection. The statesof die has a very round 0 in (1O C.). But this one does not.

According to the book, it could be a JR-5 (but no notched stars on obverse that I can see. Or most likely a JR-9. Both have rather scrunched “States of America” on rev but don’t have the circle 0. In 10c. And neither are designated as a Statesof. So either pcgs errored or someone put the wrong coin in this case. See JR-1 on below (bottom).

I admit ignorance on bust dimes. But despite the perceived notion the market seems to hold that slabbing companies are THE coin experts, your statement of:
So either pcgs errored or someone put the wrong coin in this case.
is not an uncommon thing to find at all.
PCGS makes many more errors than people who revere the companies like to know about/see/acknowledge.

Please check the link in my signature for a paper showing, with company pictures and quotations (all linked for you to check it yourself...please do), how a simple rookie level Kennedy half variety (the No FG) attribution PCGS is commonly misattributed by the "experts" despite PCGS's claim they even assign experts to each coin who have a specialty in that specific coin!
