1796 Draped Bust Dime. JR-4. Rarity-4. EF-40 (PCGS).
The 1796 JR-4 variety represents the second of two uses of this obverse die; the first use was for the 1796 JR-3. This date is always eagerly sought for type purposes as well as by those who specialize in early dimes. The first of their denomination, the dimes of 1796 present an insight into our nation's first "short bits," as dimes were called long ago.
