It has exceptional visual appeal and is referred to as the 1841 “No Drapery” dime.
It features beautiful cobalt-blue and soft reddish-gold toning over perfectly mirrored and immaculate fields, according to Heritage Auctions, an online auction site.
According to the website, the design themes are bold and well-defined.

In a recent interview with the U.S. Sun, an expert offered five suggestions for those considering coin collecting.
According to the expert, there is a great deal of potential for financial advantage if you are trained to pay attention to certain things.
How coins are graded
Coins are ranked from 1 (the lowest grade) to 70 (the best example), with 70 being the highest grade.
Mint State coins are those with numbers 60 to 70, which are typically the most sought-after by collectors.
It is normal to find pieces in MS67, MS68, and MS69 conditions that sell for thousands of dollars at auction.
Among earlier coins, an MS-70 is almost impossible to locate.
The U.S. Sun has an exclusive interview with Katie, the coin expert behind the Wheats to Shields (@wheatstoshields) TikTok page, to help you get started in the world of cash.
In addition to writing a book about rare coins, she has more than 54,000 followers and publishes films about them.
Though her passion was ignited at an early age, Katie has been collecting coins for the past five years.
