A couple of new half dimes from ANA for my Registry Set

BarndogBarndog Posts: 20,515 ✭✭✭✭✭
I consider both of these to be upgrades. The first is 1829 LM-16.2 PCGS MS63, an upgrade from my current set piece (graded XF45). The second is 1829 LM-7.3 PCGS AU58, which I consider an upgrade from an eye appeal standpoint to my current set piece (MS63). I will get around to adding them to the Registry Set when I take a break from catching salmon...



Both came from David Kahn

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Good Lord, that 7.3 makes me speechless. Doesn't get much better than that in my book.

    it was an easy call to ditch the MS63 for this AU58 example!

    Both very nice. The second appeals to me more as well.

    Wow, that 6.3 looks about AU66. What a great look.

    Two great new additions to an amazing set...congrats!
  • lordmarcovanlordmarcovan Posts: 43,760 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like 'em both. With no specialist experience in this series, I tried to mentally pick which one I'd like in a type set, and eventually decided on the first, whiter one, though the colors are certainly nice on the second. I did not actually read the grades in your OP text until after I'd looked at both pictures and made up my mind which I liked more.

    Very pretty indeed! I have always admired the Capped Bust half dimes.

    When I was a young collector in the mid 1960s, the most common dates were listed in the Gimbels coin catalog for $55 in Gem Unc. When I tried to buy one, the guys there told me that "They were tough in Unc."

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Both are very nice, I prefer the first one, however, I would be proud to own either one. Cheers, RickO

    Nice! WTG, Barndog. I love them both.



    I have just one HD, an 1829 in AU58, toned and crusty.

    one of these days (years), I might get around to photographs for the set.

    a couple more:



    this from CRO. 1834 LM-2 PCGS MS63. Will upgrade my set piece for this common die marriage from a 58



    image





    this from a while back from Rare Coins of NH. R4 die marriage. Have a 63 in the slot now, this 64 will take its place



    image





    and if it matters...



    1834 is in a PCGS OGH and has a green CAC sticker.

    1832 was in a PCGS OGH with a CAC sticker (until I sent it in for attribution on the label)
