Yet another 1809 Bust Dime Thread

I just wanted to add my 1809 bust dime to the mix and was curious as to what others thought. I do think people are too critical of the rims. These early dimes through 1827 were struck with an open collar so they are not all even the same diameter and rims are often incomplete and very shallow. Sorry for the poor pictures, but there is the teeniest bit of luster in protected areas around the eagle which can't be seen in the pics, and the white spots on the reverse are on the slab.

Thanks!

    F12 or 15 is my first impression.

    Very nice! Looks to be about VF30 IMO.

    1809 is a tough date. You have a really nice looking coin.

    VF-30 or 35. Way nicer than most, and choice for the grade! Congratulations! image

    VF30 1809. Your grading it like a worn bust quarter brother. 1809's all look a bit more weekly struck to me.

    Yeah...but even as a worn bust quarter I should have given it a 20 probably. I was just feeling stingy at the time.

    I think it is a fair grade, but could go VF-30 if submitted once or twice more!

    Overall the coin was struck (and wore down) very evenly, which isn't seen very often on this date.

    RKP: <<.. just wanted to add my 1809 bust dime to the mix and was curious as to what others thought.>>

    RKP is quoted in a recent article, with mention of this specific coin of his! While researching 1809 dimes, I learned a lot about both the overall rarity of the issue and the condition rarity of relatively high grade representatives.

    Does anyone know what happened to the James A. Stack 1809 dime, which Stack's (NY) auctioned in Jan. 1990? Moreover, if any members of this forum have information about the pedigrees or appearances of the PCGS graded MS-65 and MS-66 1809 dimes, please post or otherwise communicate. Thanks, insightful10{{at))gmail.com
