<p>[QUOTE=&quot;giorgio11, post: 584649, member: 17094&quot;]The 1809 dime was the first year of the Capped Bust type struck with an open collar. There is only one die variety/marriage known for the year according to the John Reich Society reference. They too call it R.4, a &quot;very scarce variety&quot; and say &quot;with patience, a nice VF-30 specimen can generally be found at a reasonable price. However, this variety is extremely rare in mint state. Finest seen is MS-65 (lot 30, Auction &#039;79 sale, July 26, 1979).&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Heritage has sold 48 examples (including duplicates), several different Gems but most in the VF-XF range. But PCGS has only certified 48 in all grades, coincidentally. Maybe an underrated date? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best Regards,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>George</p><p>======================</p><p>VDB Coins[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
