Plugged a VERY tough hole today in my Bust Dime collection!!! 1822

Since FUN 2010 until now, I have saved up for, and waited to receive, this 1822 Bust Dime. image
I owe sole appreciation to Rich Uhrich for holding this coin for me for about 2 months so that I could save up for this.

At FUN I fell in love with this Dime, and knew I needed to add it to my almost complete set.
The grade was just what I was looking for, and far above the average AG/G's you see - which also tend to have problems!
I never thought I would own this date in a grade above Good at this point in my life.
I'm just super excited to plug this hole in my collection, and I'm pretty much on Cloud 9 like ambro is with his 1875 G$1 NewP.
I also only need one more date to complete my Bust Dime date set, and only a couple more to complete the Major Variety section.

I couldn't get a great photo of this coin, so I took two different photo's of it! But I hope the coin speaks for itself.

    Wonderful, beautiful coin... but I have to be the first to say it... have you ever seen the movie, "Chinatown"?

    Nope, I have not seen that movie. Why do you ask?

    Yow. That IS a toughie. (I must confess I just had to consult the Redbook.)

    Great looking example, too. I particularly like the way it looks in the second picture.

    PS- I am in the dark about the movie Chinatown, too. What's it have to do with an 1822 dime?

    Thanks for the great comments guys. I'm really honored to own this coin.
    Between PCGS and the TPG across the street - the total slabbed pop as of Feb. 1 was 90!
    I'm grading this coin at approximately F-12, which, if slabbed, would make it a pop 10/40 coin (that's not taking into consideration possible re-sub's.)

    Pretty good for a coin in such a low grade

    Very nice, nothing but good honest wear. I wonder how many different people touched that coin. If only it could talk...

    Yes. Again, wonderful coin. I've got a 1924-S peace dollar in MS63+ that I really love, but it has also been to Chinatown.

    Way to go Winston. Very nice dime. One I wish I had, but I can't complain I just picked up the 1820 SOS and Office Boy in a resent Teletrade auction.

    VERY NICE !!!
