From an initial mintage of 100,000 coins, it is estimated that merely about 225 of them have endured to the present era. Despite their scarcity, the existing specimens are comparatively affordable and frequently undervalued. This overdate emerged because mint workers utilized older, unused dies from 1822 to produce this series. Every 1824/2 dime distinctly exhibits a numeral 2 underneath the 4. This 1842/2 Type 1, Large Dentils Capped Bust Dime boasts striking target toning. Each side displays a distinctive target pattern, with the central devices standing out amidst a vibrant rainbow of colors. On the obverse, Lady Liberty appears in a cool grey tone, surrounded by a rainbow that transitions from lilac hues to cobalt blue, culminating in an iridescent yellow and crimson finish. Meanwhile, on the reverse, the eagle is set against a backdrop of auburn and oceanic blue highlights. These do not come up for sale with any frequency so think hard about acquiring this example.
