1838 10C PARTIAL DRAPERY MS66+ NGC CAC EX "Col." E.H.R Green

An important rare Red Book variety, the Partial Drapery. It is the only die variety of its type. It is listed in the Guide Book at a substantial premium compared to the usual Large Stars 1838 dime. This Partial Drapery variety features a "drapery" beneath Liberty's elbow from a clash mark from the upright of the E in DIME. This coin displays a distinctively sharp strike, boasting near-perfect preservation of surfaces along with a subtle patina of olive-gray, lilac, and chestnut-brown. Even on the reverse, there are several character-adding die-clash. Only 1 comp and auction record is noted which was for the Simpson MS66+ PCGS CAC that sold 2 years ago in 2021 for $10,800. Next grade MS67 PCGS CAC ex Bender sold for $28,800 01/2023 With a spectacular pedigree and original, unmolested surface this coin will be featured well in any collection with some upside.
