How many of you collect by JR number?
How many would be interested in collecting by JR number?
How many would like to see a Registry set for this like they have for Bust Halves by overton number?
If they made this set how many would start this set?
Just curious.

I'm not a serious collector of JR Bust Dimes, rather just a date and major variety collector.
Whenever I do buy a bust dime I like to look up the variety and rarity, just like every over Bust type coin.
I would like to see each of the Silver Bust denominations to have their own section based on their given variety.
I know that Bust Dollars and Halves already have this, as well as large cents, so why not Bust Half-Dimes, Dimes and Quarters?
The idea works for me
As enticing as such a set is (for half dimes anyway), the attribution cost alone is prohibitive (and there are only 92 half dime die marriages, excluding die remarriages) for me to consider doing something like this...especially when I consider that I am better at attribution than the graders at PCGS
I don't think that you have to have the coins attributed by PCGS. You just enter the JR number when you add the coin to the set. I read this in the bust halve for overton numbers set. Read and see what you think they mean.
<< <i>I think your right. While I was waiting for your reply I went out and looked at the one you saw. I does look like each coin has it's own PCGS number. I don't think I want to go to that expense. Maybe my second choice of the complete bust coins set with each denom. with major var. would be a better choice. >>
you're right there. Attribution at $24 a pop makes die marriage registry set completion an expensive and logistical nightmare. I have around 100 half dimes in PCGS holders and only one has the attribution on the label. No way I am going to package those up and ship them to PCGS and pay them $24 each to tell me something I already know. That'd earn me an expensive wooden plaque at the Registry Luncheon...not my preference!
Beautiful set of capped bust half dimes!
Again, great set.
If they created a complete bust coin set would you participate?
