Capped Bust Dime Question/Help

JWMGT90

Is this a good value for a 1830/29 Capped Bust Dime?

$280

Not in my opinion. Decent looking coin though.

I kind of like this coin. Respectfully, John Curlis

PCGS price guide lists it at $225 in VF-30. I don't think that dime would make 30, and that price assumes it's a PCGS graded coin. That being said, I think the coin is very attractive, and I am not familiar enough with the "true" populations and prices for me to really give an informed answer (not that that's ever stopped me!)
If you really like it, maybe you could offer a lower price and see what happens. I think it's a cool enough coin to at least make a counter-offer and give it a shot.

nice coin, but I think you can do better for the money with some searching.

Ok here is the link they list it as a XF40 but its Raw. I was just thinking it may be worth it to grab up and have graded but it doesnt look like it would grade high.

APMEX does sometimes have some "ambitious" grading

In my opinion it grades an optimistic VF30.
PCGS has these at $225 at this grade.
I'd have to pass for that price even though I really like it.
There are far better advisors here and hopefully they chime in for you.

not so good on the dimes, but I think it is a JR-4 die marriage...R-2

is that how you can tell its a 1830/29? I just dont see it in the picture what do you look for?

the overdate tells us it is obverse #2 (JRCS Book on the subject is my source). There were two different reverses (I think there were two anyway) used with obverse number two. Both are common die marriages. It's really a matter of owning the appropriate reference and using it. Reference: "Early United States Dimes 1796-1837" by Davis, Logan, Lovejoy, McCloskey, and Subjack. Out of print and sometimes available at auction or at coin shows. Expect to pay around $200 for one.

up over $200

hopefully sometime soon though!

JWMGT90

yeah im gonna pass on this

I think it worth $150 --- IF it has not been cleaned.

JWMGT90

$150 huh?

Its hard to tell from online pictures if its cleaned.

I guess it's worth it to stick with buying the slabbed pieces.

Hi JWMGT90,

Opinions will differ amongst all collectors about the grade or value.

From the images, this appears to be a respectable coin. Only in hand will we know if it is totally original. This piece looks to have dirt near the devices leading me to think it is original. As with most sellers, you have the option to return the piece.

Given that you have shared this piece, I infer you like the coin. I like the coin. Regarding the price, I think $280 is high. This is a Red Book variety and demands a premium.

Grade, this is not an XF. A VF-25 or VF-30 is accurate.

I hope this helps.
