Not pretty, but will end up in a JR Journal article (likely next year) as an early die state example of a die marriage that suffered problems of die sinking and resultant bulges on the coins. One of just four bust dimes I own (all are 1814, JR-2 die marriage). Thanks to Cladiator for shooting this set in B&W for me:
I am so worn out from scanning and describing Capped Bust Halves for the CBH series, it will have to wait until tomorrow for me to post another picture of a Bustie. I hope I remember...
I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

<< <i>dnadave, that photo is really cool. I've honestly never seen them like that
It took a LONG time to VERY carefully do that, and then to undo it. I don't think I'll do it again even though I have a full roll now.

LM-4, very nice!
That is a yummy Bustie!
Thanks. I had Mark Feld on the hunt for one and he found this, he said he almost kept it for himself.
