There is a romantic name for this coin, doubloon.

1809 dimes (tough coins!)

 

Yes, I have never owned one. My coin for this type is dated 1827. I would like to get one of the early ones which were made from John Reich dies, but it's never happened.

It is interesting that Reich does not seem to have notched the 13th star as he did on other silver and gold coins.

 

I'm done.

 

I have to get this one in. This is my avatar coin, an 1805 dime. This is the piece that got me turned on to high grade Early U.S. coins. The dealer, Catherine Bullowa, who sold it to me graded it "EF." It's in a PCGS AU-58 holder today. When I was a dealer, I had one in an MS-62 holder, which was very similar.

 

This 1803 half dime in the plate coin in Walter Breen's Encyclopedia. The late Bruce Longyear owned it and promised to let me have the first shot at it. He was good on his word. I didn't now at the time that he was terminally ill.

 

Wow, that is really well struck, i.e. full bosom & clouds. Large 8?

For some reason I was unaware that there was no denomination on these coins.

I'm a little late!
It may not be the prettiest, but it still is one of the rarest 1802 varieties. One of my only NC's, 1802 NC-1.
