Draped Bust Dimes

Nysoto

Rare coins that are hard to find problem free. Slightly larger than capped bust dimes at 19.9 mm average diameter. Six different draped bust dime reverse dies were also used to strike $2.50 quarter eagle gold reverses. Post pictures of yours!

Nysoto that is one of the finest coins I've seen on this forum in a while. Unfortunately I have nothing to contribute to the thread

I have a complete set of Bust Dimes (Drpaed and Capped). Still working on upgrading a few coins. The 1804 is the key to the series. Here are a few of them:

Unfortunately I do not have any texts on early dimes. I am however, on the lookout for a good one if anyone has a recommendation and better yet, wants to sell me one.

This example is my only one to date. It is in my LOC album #1 of 2 for US type coins.

Picked it up in Salt Lake City. A place I refer to as Fort Knox. Monarch Coins.

an 1807 from the type set



I believe this is one of the reverses also used to strike quarter eagles.

What a beautiful example of a very very tough coin. That is one coin I really wish were mine. These boards are taking on a very nice look lately.
Hey stman- post something. John- keep posting those monsters of yours. I could go on and on.....

Lanlord, the reference book "Early United States Dimes 1796-1837" is excellent, co-authored by Davis, Logan, Lovejoy, McCloskey, and Subjack. The 1984 book led to the formation of the JRCS. It is hard to find now, try eBay, Charles Davis, and Orville Grady numismatic literature. Your coin is JR-2, the more common of the two varieties for 1805.

Barry, completing a date set of 1796-1837 bust dimes is an outstanding achievement! The 1800-1803 dates are not far behind 1804 in rarity.

Baley, the 1807 dime reverse was used on 1805 B-1 $2.50, 1806 B-1 and B-2 $2.50, and 1807 B-1 $2.50 before final usage on the dime, clashing at least nine times on the dime marriage. In later states the reverse legend is almost completey lapped away.

Another one from a scarce date, 1803 JR-3:

Nysoto, do you remember what the grade of this coin is? I'm guessing VF-35 or maybe EF-40.Just curious, I'm trying to learn how to grade these. Or if anyone else wants to give their opinion on the grade , go to it please.
