    Thanks Jason & Dave.

    Also, feel free to attribute her if you can. Brian Greer noted the JR variety.

    No clue about the variety but nice coin!
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    Neat dime! It is a JR-3, which is a very rare R-6 variety. While the 1804 dime is a known rarity, the 1800-1803's are not far behind, they are real sleepers. You have a very rare coin. Here is a terminal state 1803 JR-3, which may be unique in this die state with the retained cud:

    edit - JR-3 or 4? I will go with what Brian says!

    wow great coins both image

    honest rare old coins that did their duty in commerce when our country was young..

    I notice it's the same handful of members showing the 200+ year old coins. They ain't new and shiny and available by Flippers but ooooo dey cool image

    Here's an 1805 dime I've never shown before, be curious and grateful if one of you "with the book" could attribute image

    Very cool John. Your busty has to be close to a PO-1???

    Yes, paradoxically, if he cracks it out and carries it for a couple months, it will be worth more as a novelty PO-1

    (but not as much as a multiple of value as something newer that was not struck for circulation, such as a 1970-D half or an ASE)

    The thing about wearing down coins for this purpose is they're going to look like crap when done. You take a nice low grade (G-F) 150+ year old coin with a healthy dose of crust and crud on it. Stick it in your pocket for a couple months to wear it down and along with the detail wear you'll have a super shiny coin. The crust will wear off too.

    << <i>Yes, paradoxically, if he cracks it out and carries it for a couple months, it will be worth more as a novelty PO-1 >>

    But only if he puts it back in acceptable plastic after intentionally degrading the coin.

    Yes, chalk me up as not a fan of the "low ball registry." In principle it seems cool and fun, but I worry about what will happen to perfectly nice coins of higher grades just to get them in plastic as a PO-1...

    Very nice pickup.

    Did Brian grade it a PO1 or F2?

    He just had it listed as an ANACS Fair 2. JR3 R5 heavily worn but problem free. Date readable.
