JR-9.  1829 Capped Bust Dime, Small/Large 10C. The 1829 Capped Bust dime represents the mature years of the series, when the Philadelphia Mint had settled into a steady rhythm of silver coinage for a growing national economy. Struck from John Reich’s enduring design, the coin reflects the practical artistry of the early Mint: Liberty with a soft cap and flowing hair on the obverse, and a compact heraldic eagle surrounded by a clean legend on the reverse.

This example is the JR-9 marriage, a variety noted for the Small 10C over Large 10C feature on the reverse. The overpunch hints at the practical realities of early die preparation, where engravers modified punches rather than discarding serviceable dies. PCGS has graded 3 of the JR-9 variety as XF40 with just 9 finer.

This coin displays pleasing wear that leaves the major design elements intact and well defined. A natural brownish patina covers the surfaces, giving the piece a mellow appearance consistent with long, careful preservation and adding depth to the classic silver fabric of this early American dime.
