...so I guess I will too!
Kind of an eclectic mix of nice and ugly, rare and interesting!
This is a salvaged coin. A coin which would otherwise be unspectacular without the feature on the reverse.
That feature is the Cud over U(NITE)D. 1820 JR-10 (R3) to be exact, but with the Full Cud it is an R7/R6+!
Now, this coin exhibits VF details, but it has been punched in the side of the face! Still I like it.
I now have the 3 die stage progressions for this die marriage - prime, retained cud, and full cud
This next piece is another NewP from 1820, but this time a JR-6 (R3) in PCGS-25. Very much just a lovely
addition to my Die Marriage collection. Strong for the grade. Great grey color. And it brings me 1 step
closer to reaching all 123 die marriages!
1833 JR-7 (R5); the rarer of the two 1833 High 3 die marriages. This is a duplicate example for my collection.
Unfortunately it has been cleaned (mostly on the obverse), but it is still lovely. This is a die marriage which
is also tricky to grade. This coin should be called a VG-10+, but the TPG's would probably just grade it G-6,
if it could be graded at all! My other example is a slightly more original VF-20. This die marriage just doesn't
show up all that often!
Finally, I bring you the creme' da le creme'. The 'Piece de Resistance'.
The 1820 JR-2 (R6)! Only the 3rd rarest die marriage in the Capped Bust Dime series, with what I estimate
to be no more than 20-25 pieces in existence!!! Sure, your first thought is - 'it's damaged'. Sure, no argument
there, and of course I'd crave a problem-free example. But I challenge you to find an example with better
details! This coin otherwise exhibits VF+ details (I don't know why the obverse is SO flat, and the reverse
is much stronger), which would otherwise place it up there in the condition census in terms of details.
Yet, net grade = VG-ish! Still, I'm QUITE happy to cross this one off my list, leaving me with the 2 RAREST
die marriages left to acquire

I think I know the two rarest die marriages that you are looking for.

<< <i>Nice tough coins you found there Stone. We were hoping for a cud on the reverse on the 1820 jr6 but it appears to not have one.
Nope, unfortunately no Cud
Rich, and others, I'm sure it's not too difficult to figure out the 2 toughest die marriages I still need!
I hope it's me that finds the 1827 JR14.
<< <i>Some nice tuff dimes there Stone.
I hope it's me that finds the 1827 JR14.
With your luck???

<< <i>Now i need to find out what a JR 14 is. >>
From my website:
1827 JR-14 Dime R8 PCGS VG-8 - - JUST DISCOVERED!
A just-discovered example of this ultra-rare die marriage with only TWO known.
Found by a client, who sent me the coin, and the attribution has been confirmed by PCGS and Brad Karoleff.
The owner is undecided on selling it at this time. NOT FOR SALE!!!

Good timing
Finding Bust Dimes listed in incorrect categories
Memorizing die marriage attributions on the fly
Constant searching

It's my dedication which has led to my collection coming into completion!
