    Stone is a Capped Bust dime collector and he likes varieties. Maybe with this time on his hands he can describe this coin for you (already sold):

    Rich, Congrats on the sale of now the 2nd rarest Capped Bust Dime Die Marriage.
    The 1827 JR-10 is an unusual die marriage in the Capped Bust Dime series in that it is thought to be a proof only issue,
    although some pieces may have been later struck for circulation, or the mint struck more proof pieces than necessary
    and some made their way into circulation. Either way, it is currently listed as an R6+ (13-18) per the most recent JRJ
    Bust Dime census. There are several PF/MS(?) specimens known, but more circulated pieces are known than Proof.
    The piece that Rich is sharing appears to be an EF details (maybe high VF) with slight damage. I saw the piece in Tampa
    and didn't really feel the damage was TOO distracting, and someone added a SUPER tough die marriage to their collection.

    The rarest die marriage is now the semi-mysterious 1827 JR-14 which was found 2 months ago. As far as I know, that
    die marriage is still unique, but with enough searching someone will probably find a second example!



    BTW - I woke up real early to get to Philly and have a connecting flight to Las Vegas before Tucson, but at least I'll be home today image

    DARN COLD WEATHER!!! image

    Thanks for the education, Stone!
    We think the "damage" is actually a strike-through, because the letter B of LIBERTY clearly shows right through where the "damage" is. So I think it is likely that it is a strike-through.
    Do any of the Bust coinage or error specialists have any thoughts on this?

    Rich, this could be. It was not a depression style I recognized when I saw it in hand, but I naturally suspected it was a typical PMD impression. Your idea of a Mint-Made strike-through is interesting and could be the answer. I will wait for other's to respond.

    I think it is PMD. Had that been a strike through (let's say on a chip of wood just for the sake of argument) the rest of the B of LIBERTY would have been struck up on that piece of wood, and disappeared when the wood fell away. As it was, the complete LIBERTY was struck on the coin against the die, and then that one area indented.
