I'm happy to add this little darling to the collection today. It's something I've desired for over 20 years and can't stop grinning now that it's here. I don't know why but this issue along with the '46 half dime have always mesmerized me more than any other key. One down, one to go. The photos don't do it justice, the coin is beautiful for it's level of wear with a soft understatement of an amber hue to it. Maybe she'll get submitted for a TV photo at the Money Show.

Just for you.
Besides the 1846 half dime's rarity, what really intrigues me about it is how crudely the date was engraved. Compare it to the 1847 and you'll know what I mean.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."

WOW!!! That's an amazing 1822 dime. Not that the grade matters that much but what does she grade, VF-20? Mine is a lowly G-06.

That is a very appealing 1822 Dime, and at the top end of the majority of currently known examples. Congratulations!
Like you, I was strongly attracted to this date early on in my collecting career, in the 80's and 90's. - these are the two example which I managed to obtain. Both still ungraded.

Don't know what to make of the mint mark this one. But it does has 6 qualities, extraordinarily rare eye appeal for a Jefferson nickel.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Not as key as in the earliest issues, but still a beautiful coin to have.

I'm not greedy, I only need one of these. Can I ask the grade?

Thanks; it is pretty cool to own such a thing!
It's "only" MS62BN.

So W's are considered key dates?.. Or just high graded W's?

Got this tiny treasure home today as my first coin of 2023...
Love it! Never had more than a VG.

For some reason I never got around to taking pics of the reverse for the 27-S. Must have been really busy like I usually am.
