  At present I own 273 of them, including 91 of the 92 known die marriages, plus a few dupes.
  
  Oh, and if you are also including the Flowing Hair and Draped Bust half dimes, I have 16 of 32 of those.

  I used to have one, an 1829 I bought as "choice BU" from an old Bowers and Ruddy auction circa 1985. Later it slabbed NGC MS-64. I sold it about three years ago. I kinda miss it.

  I own three.
  
  One for my type set in NGC MS-64, well struck and original and two more in AG-3 and Poor-1 I bought when I was a kid.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  Can't I choose 2 answers?
  
  In regards to coins, I do own bust half dimes.
  
  But I do prefer 'a whole bust, not 1/2 a bust'!

  Complete date set, plus a few extra varieties. My 1829 is an R5 die marriage, and my 1833 is an R6, quite by accident. I am more of a Seated H10c collector, as you could guess from my icon coin, a proof 1868.

  Nope. I stick with the little seated babies. However, I might complete a simple date set in EF (completely original) when I have some spare money, but that might take a while.

  PS I do have one 1833 bust dime
