1820 DIME CENSUS

By Ron Guth

This list of top condition 1820 Dimes combines the Small O, Large O, and STATESOFAMERICA varieties. Because there is some confusion as to what constitutes a Small O versus a Large O, I’ve listed JR numbers instead.  Future installments will present Census listings for each of the individual varieties.  

Regarding the previous installment on 1814 Dimes, Alan Weinberg recalled purchasing a Gem 1814 Dime from a Lester Merkin sale for $675, but I have been unable to identify the sale or lot number.
