Does anyone bid on Bust Dimes on Ebay?

I just started on Bust Dimes recently, and it seems to me, out of all the series I've collected, the bidding goes absurdly high on Bust Dimes. Even with the rampant overgrading by sellers, bids often exceed the stated (over)grade, too. What's with this series?

    I have just a few bust dimes, mostly collect bust halves. I have heard from bust dealers and collectors that prices have been going up on bust dimes and quarters. They are all very scarce, and it does not take many additional collectors in this series to drive prices up. Lots of interest now in collecting bust dimes by die marriage.

    Check out the John Reich Collectors Society and the Bust Coin Trading Circle for more information on bust dimes.

    The good ones go for considerable premiums. They are tougher to find than most realize, problem free. That goes for any bust series though, maybe not so much with bust halves.
