Owner Comments:
JR-2, R.4. On the obverse, LIBE and RTY are evenly spaced; ER touch. R high. On the reverse, the left branch has five berries; the middle inner berry appears doubled. A pleasing degree of design detail remains evident, for the grade. The light-gray surfaces seem original, and show the usual faint pinscratches across both sides. An appealing example of this highly popular early dime issue.
