Looks like it worked out REALLY well for you

keyman64 · October 24, 2013 4:38AM

Not my series, what is the over date / variety on this one? Looks to be free of any major problems. Congrats.

bosco5041 · October 24, 2013 4:42AM

Nice coin, I like the lg. size dimes.

STONE · October 24, 2013 4:43AM

1824/2 JR-1, the more common of the two die marriages for the date

I like this one a lot more than the one I owned!

bronzemat · October 24, 2013 4:46AM

Lovely addition.

lostincoins · October 24, 2013 4:47AM

johnny9434 · October 24, 2013 5:13AM

DIMEMAN · October 24, 2013 6:25AM

Nice dime....30-35 is my guess.

Higher grade 1824 dimes above Fine are sooo hard. Not that many survivors for some reason. Great dime, I like it very much.

USMoneylover · October 24, 2013 6:42AM

Thanks for the comments guys...my opinion of the grade is 30-35...we will find out soon enough when I get it to PCGS

I also agree 24 dimes are pretty tough...I've owned several of every other date, and this is my first 1824.

mozin · October 24, 2013 7:41AM

I still need the 1824 dime. Yours looks PCGS 30 to me.

hchcoin · October 24, 2013 7:51AM

Very very nice

lordmarcovan · October 24, 2013 7:51AM

I agree with 30, and the look is great.

In fact, had I seen that coin, I would've immediately thought of you and STONE.

lkeigwin · October 24, 2013 8:08AM

Nice buy, Hunter! Very wholesome.

EastonCollection · October 24, 2013 8:49AM

The 1824 dime is the toughest semikey to the series IMHO. That was the last one that I needed. Your dime is a great example of a coin that I think would grade 35. COins like that traded for premiums over price guide by about 25%. Congrats and keep up the great work and find more.

indeetlib · October 24, 2013 8:51AM

Very nice coin!

rkp · October 24, 2013 9:59AM

I like it and would think VF-35 sounds about right.

Two questions:

1. What's the story behind your avatar 1822 dime. I remember your post from a while ago indicating it was purchased on e-bay!!! Now THAT's a dime!!!!

2. Does anyone (Stone?) know what that die gouge/defect is left of star 6? EVERY 1824 dime I've seen has this gouge, EXCEPT for this proof dime that I saw a picture of in Analyst's (Greg Reynolds') article about proof bust dimes. So I wonder if these few proofs were struck and then somehow the die acquired this defect either very early in the business striking or maybe during storage from proof to business striking. Curious if anybody has some insight.

I did buy my avatar coin on ebay as well. It is now in a PCGS F12 CAC holder. I agree that is a great coin, but there are several dimes that are much tougher than one might think. Most people tout the 1809, 1811/09 as keys or semi-keys. I do agree with this, but the 1828 large date and 1824 are very tough coins above fine-ish condition and are not very available.

Question number two is an interesting one. I did notice the die defect on this 1824 dime...In the Early United States Dimes book, they call it a "die line". I had not read that article about the proof dies, so I appreciate you posting the link. After reading it and viewing the photos of that dime, I think it's probably damage from handling between the proof and business strikings. I would love to hear some other opinions about this.

<< The 1828 large date and 1824 are very tough coins above fine-ish condition and are not very available. >>

I completely agree with this and that sometimes the 1809 and 1811 are hyped up a bit. That being said, an 1822 in F-12 with original toning that is mark free... a rare bird indeed.

YOU GOT THAT FROM Ebay?? Raw? oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo---i'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice coin very nice coin--a good buy no matter what you paid for it. Ever so tough!!!

EastonCollection · October 24, 2013 10:34PM

Here are my top 2 examples of the 1824/2. They are both the JR-1 (easy ones). I fell in love with both and I can't chose which one to keep in my registry set. Both are PCGS graded and one is 63 and the other 64. IMHO I think the 63 is nicer than the 64 but I can't part with either.

EastonCollection · October 24, 2013 10:45PM

Besides the 1822, personally, the 1824/2 is the next toughest date to find thats original and toned. The next toughest is the 1811/9 then 1809 based on my travels. Interesting that the die defect at star 6 is very obvious on one of the coins but not as obvious on the other. Maybe the holder is hiding it and I will check it out.

PS - Sorry - I don't know how to make the picture smaller - not a technically guru/

rkp · October 25, 2013 9:48AM

Easton,

WOW!!!!! Those are really awesome 1824s. I like the overall color/eye appeal of the top one with tan/gold toning but the strike on the bottom one is really amazing. You don't see hair detail under the cap and claw definition on 1824 dimes like that.

Elcontador · October 25, 2013 11:24AM

Nothing wrong with getting a circulated coin with honest wear, like this one. You don't have to worry about what people have done to the coin recently, and they're affordable (something I don't see often in what I collect).

USMoneylover · November 9, 2013 6:07AM

PCGS graded my dime in Baltimore...VF35

Thanks guys!

As for the price, I paid 510$ on ebay for this coin.

P.S. If you have any certified or will certify 1824's at sheet PM me, I'm a buyer of every single one you have. (I buy other dates too)

STONE · November 10, 2013 4:23AM

Congrats - that coin was relatively quickly graded too!

golden · November 10, 2013 4:25AM

Nice coin.
