| Description: |
Light gray toning with splashes of blue and lilac characterizes both sides. Somewhat
lightly struck at the centers, as usual for the variety. The overdate feature is bold.
While the 1798/7 ranges from scarce to rare in all grades, at the level offered here it is
high in the PCGS Population, with just one finer. The specialist in the field of American
dimes will find this to be one of the most important opportunities in the present
catalogue—a sale that is remarkable for the rarities it contains. Moreover, the 13 Star
reverse, as here, is unpriced in the Guide Book of United States Coins at any grade over
EF, verifying its elusive nature.PCGS Population: 1; 1 finer (MS-62).
