Owner's Description

Ex-Norweb and Dr. Thomas S. Bush pedigree.<br /><br />TomB's description of the coin:<br /><br />"It is a nice piece with deep, mossy navy color that has an undercoat of violet. The mark that is in Ms Liberty's cap happened during circulation and is toned exactly as the remainder of the coin. The obverse matches the reverse for color and both sides are quite attractive. The TrueView image I have of the coin makes it look far lighter than it actually is and, in my opinion, makes it look less attractive."<br /><br />*******************************<br />1832 TEN CENTS OR DIME<br />*******************************<br /><br />Mintage:<br />Circulation strikes: 522,500<br />Proofs: estimated 15<br /><br />Designer: John Reich<br /><br />Diameter: ±18.5 millimeters<br /><br />Metal content:<br />Silver - ±89.2%<br />Copper - ±10.8%<br /><br />Weight: ±41.6 grains (±2.70 grams)<br /><br />Edge: Reeded<br /><br />Mintmark: None (Philadelphia)
