1839. No drapery. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC Approved. Well struck and nice toning. Unstoppable luster erupts stealthily beneath the lovely toned highlights, while gusts of color form an aura from the edge to the center of the design elements on both sides of this satiny, near pristine gem. The strike is strong as on most 1839 No Drapery Seated Dimes with outstanding stars, shield, and wreath definition. A much beloved, delicately proportioned and elegant three-year Type. (Late in 1840, Mint Director Robert Maskell Patterson ordered that the dimes and half dimes follow the silver dollars in adopting the new Robert Ball Hughes modified effigy. Like its smaller and larger counterparts, this new portrait has fatter arms, larger head, no de collete, flatter contours concealed by bulkier drapery for "respectability," smaller rock, shield upright with enlarged scroll, and what the Breen encyclopedia scorns as the "useless cloak or himation over her elbow, making her pose extremely uncomfortable.") Pop 10; 9 finer, 7 in 67, 2 in 68. (PCGS # 4571) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,700. Categories: Seated Liberty Dimes
