My eyes lit up when I saw this picture of this 1829 dime - so I ordered it

I spoke with Dave of CRO and ordered it on the spot. Nice crusty look. PCGS AU-53. According to Dave, it still has some cartwheel flash and interestingly has even more on the reverse despite appearing to look more "dull" than the obverse. Pictures can deceive.

It has that greenie stickem thing too.

    I heard they picked that up at the last show for melt +.image

    You dime and half dime collectors seem to have a lot of good color to pick from. I may have to jump up from my 3 cent silver proof set i have been working on to enjoy a larger coin.

    Very nice! image

    You always here great things about CRO's coins, but never a mention of their images. They have "THE BEST" images of any online coin dealer that I've ever seen. I'd like to know their method because I'd definitely replicate it. image

    Figures. Some of their pics are just amazing, while the rest are just great. image

    Ill tell ya, the more I follow their site, the more impressed I am with the quality of coins they seem to find and offer. Also, their prices seem to be really decent considering what coins they sell.
