<< <i>really? No 1822? What grade are you waiting for? >>
It's more a financial decision than a grade.
But, when I can afford it, I would like it to be F or Vf, which will
probably make it a long search.
<< <i>WOW, Bust Dimes too, what a pleasant suprise showing.........thanks for the views! >>
Wait til quarters and halves show up
Looks like quite a collection there - are you going for all/most of the die marriages?
And you picked a perfect day to have this thread...you'll see why shortly
<< <i>How many die marriages is this LanLord? >>
I haven't counted recently, but I'd guess at:
half dimes ~ 45 or 50
Dimes ~ 50
Quarters ~ 20 or 25
Half dollars ~ 225 or so
Dollars = 3

Thanks, I'd love to have all die marriages, but that's a pretty unrealistic goal as I'll never have some of the really rare ones
so for the time being, I will get everything I can get my grubbies on.

Hmmmm, and what could you have in store for us?

sometime last year, maybe two years ago, Rich Uhrich had a PCGS VF25 (IIRC) OGH for sale. By the time I saw it and called, it was G-O-N-E. And I don't even collect dimes. It was just that nice. I think it was in the five grand range.
Well done!
Trade for the 1811/09?
<< <i>My NewP
Nice collection - I can't wait to see the quarters.
<< <i>Haha, nope, I'm good waiting on the 1811
Edited to add: I counted you having 53 different Bust Dime die marriages; a handful of which I still need!
<< <i>Is that a Dansco holder? Does it bother you that the small size don't fit too snuggly? My son bought a Dansco for his bust dime collection and it lasted about 1 day because he couldn't stand the gap on the smaller size dimes.
Nice collection - I can't wait to see the quarters. >>
I hate that they rattle around and end up spinning in the ports, but ...
Quarters may need to wait til next weekend. But I'll get them done.
<< <i>Lanlord - I'll take the 1837 JR-1 off your hands. >>
That is a very nice JR-1!
Well, not your stuff, but your dimes!
If you stay committed to this series, you can build a fantastic collection. Be patient and don't always rely
on slabbed examples, and don't always think all raw coins have problems; almost every coin in my
collection was purchased raw at some point, even this 1809 (now PCGS-40)!!!

<< <i>I've had this one for a number of years. It's in an old green label holder, and it's almost certainly been dipped, but I still like it as a type coin. Do any of the specialists here know if it's a scarce variety?

Jim, it's a common die marriage
