1797 DRAPED BUST 10C, 13 STARS PCGS MS62+ CAC

Very choice Mint State 1797 Draped Bust dime of the 13 Stars variety, showing apparent luster and a delicate rose-blue patina. This early federal dime represents a short-lived design type and an important year in the development of United States silver coinage. The 13 Stars obverse gives the piece a clear and desirable attribution, while the MS62+ grade places it well above the level normally encountered for the issue. Early dime specialists value this coin for its design significance, certified preservation, and the visual character of its lightly toned surfaces.
