I've only ever owned two. I no longer own either of them. They were fun to have for a while though. Cool coins.
And here’s a toughie:

Barry is the foremost expert on Bust Dime coinage! (He’s modest, hence his post) His collection is absolutely phenomenal. He was recently selected by Seth Witter to fly cross country to San Francisco to teach Bust coinage to the 49 YN’s attending Witter U. (I read that they were absolutely fascinated with that session taught by Barry).
Barry has graciously mentored me on my Capped Bust Dime and Capped Bust Half Dime sets. I recently “finished” (but always hunting for upgrades) my 20 coin Dime set, currently ranked #7 in the PCGS Registry (unlike five of the six sets with higher ranks, every coin in my set merits a CAC sticker). With Barry’s guidance, in addition to those main 20 coins, I also have eight of the major varieties.
He also convinced me to put together a set of Capped Bust Half Dimes, currently a work in progress, ranked #15.
Here’s one of my Capped Bust Dimes:

Steve - you are making me blush..........LOL
I have two bust dimes. If I buy one more, I'll have to buy them all. Having an addictive personality means that I don't get on slippery slopes, I fall off cliffs.
There has been a recent buying opportunity through W. David Perkins of the Jim Matthews collection. See the link below of all those images, photographed by Steve Herrman for your viewing pleasure at the Newman Numismatic Portal!

Does Dave Perkins ever update his website inventory?
