Bowers and Merena erroneous auction description error - Bust Dime

STONE

Just in case any forum members were looking to bid on lot #374 of the Bowers and Merena auction (1834 JR-2 Bust Dime), please read below.

The Description gives that the rarity is "R5" which is about the point when premiums for Bust Dimes grow substancially.
Well, this die marriage (JR-2) is not an "R5" but an "R3" which more often than not does not garner a (significant) premium to the price.
The coin is nice, but it is not an R5, which is what I would like to highlight here. BIDDER BEWARE!

I have also contacted Bowers and Merena auctions and I hope they fix it shortly

Most auction houses are eager to get a wrongly described lot description fixed asap and B&M is one of the most.
