Description
Choice Mint State 1801 Draped Bust dime certified MS62 by PCGS, described as very choice with lovely color. The coin is listed as the third-highest graded at PCGS, a meaningful position for an early dime issue that is rarely encountered in Mint State. The 1801 dime belongs to the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle type, a short-lived series from the formative years of federal silver coinage. Survivors often show wear, adjustment marks, or surface problems. This example offers high-grade preservation, appealing toning, and the historical importance of an early Philadelphia Mint ten-cent piece.
