Acquired 2 more Bust Dimes for my collection. One new die marriage and the other is a slight upgrade.
I'm down to just 14 more die marriages (109 out of 123) and I expect to acquire 1-2 more by years end!
1821 JR-3 (R4). Somewhat difficult to locate, but not terribly scarce overall in VF grade.
I call this one a VF-20 (if only just). Nice, crusty, problem-free.
1830 JR-1 (R4+) PCGS-35 (Condition Census Piece?)
This die marriage, although just scarce, is quite difficult to locate in VF/EF or higher grades.
There are no reported MS specimens, and only 1 AU that I am aware of (although there could be more)
This piece could be ~#4 in the condition census.
Anywho, traded some other stuff for this piece from a board member. I am quite pleased to own this
1) AU-50
2) EF-45
3) EF-45
4) VF-35 (This piece?)

nice additions and associated information!

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
<< <i>Congrats on the nice dimes and the progress!...now hurry up and write the book already.
Funny you mention "write the book already". There will be discussions at this coming FUN show about writing an updated version!

I hope to finish my little Merc book shortly after FUN. The real missing piece of my puzzle is getting a 5MP Dino Lite...hopefully soon so I can get great images of the varieties.
