Very nice coin!
I like that one a lot! Well done!

This coin has a very nice look. I love the original old, grey toning. The strike is especially nice and even and the reverse die crack is sharp and adds interest.
I'd definitely prefer a coin like this over a uncirculated but cleaned example. As @MrEureka recently noted in another thread, that original surface takes you back to 1825 while a cleaned coin loses that direct connection to it's history. This coin is a good example of Andy's astute observation.
Nice looking coin.
Nice coin Jon.... and four to go... WOW.... that is indeed a long journey... Buy a special bottle of wine to celebrate the completion....though it may be a while yet. Go to FUN and a couple of big shows and maybe you will get lucky... Cheers, RickO
Great looking dime my friend. You’ve been at this dime business for a looooong time, Jon. Looking at it closely I see her eye is not very well formed.
A very nice lovely and interesting dime.
Four to go, that's awesome! When you get down to a few die marriages it's tough, so adding a nice R4 is a great day. Congratulations!
