Here is the latest purchase for the certificate type set.

What do you think of it?

I like it, I'd grade it as an original F-VF.

Did you find another 38-O? This doesn't look like the one from last week.

This coin looks much nicer.

Nope, it's the same coin. The coin matches the photo certificate as well.

Looks nice!

Well, if the coin matches this pic, you got a nice coin.

The original pic did not look so good.

Nice coin. I have been searching for the right one myself.

Nice - and looks like a good for for the set.

Since the premium is not huge in this grade for an 1838-O No Stars dime as opposed to an 1837 No Stars dime, this makes for an interesting addition. The coin is certainly okay for the F-VF grade.

The one thing I can tell about upgrades is that the No Stars dime as a type coin is many times harder to find in AU and low end Mint State than the half dime. When I was completing "phase one" of my type set years ago, I found this type to be real challenge to find in AU. There are not a lot of coins with enough sharpness, and many of the survivors have been cleaned.
