<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4845913, member: 105571&quot;]There is a lot to like about this 1821 JR-8 dime.&nbsp; It has beautifully (re)toned and has great eye appeal.&nbsp; But, there appears to be more wear than is appropriate for an AU-55.&nbsp; Yes, there are some elements of weak strike but there is apparent not-insignificant wear on both obverse and reverse.&nbsp; The JR-8 is the only use of these obverse and reverse dies so they should not have been worn down or lapped.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll admit to being torn on whether it got a bean.&nbsp; On the one hand, I think it is market over-graded.&nbsp; OTOH, I think CAC could easily have given it the benefit of the doubt due to its toning and general eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in the end I&#039;ll say it got the bean.&nbsp; Why didn&#039;t I just say that to begin with?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
