    I love dem No Stars.

    For some reason, I've always liked those "O" mintmarks inside the wreath, too.

    CoinCorgi Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

    Nice.

    Looks like the 1837 dime is a large date variety and the 1837 half dime is a small date variety. One of each! Or you can expand the set to include small/large for both.

    If they looked anything like the pictured examples, I’d say, “Yes, please!:)

    Yeah! No kidding! PCGS photos are sometimes really really nice.

    I think I'm going to expand this set to include both. I'd forgotten all about that.

    These are 4 really nice coins! I think those no stars obverses are quite interesting; imagine if every year in the Seated coin series had no stars. It'd be very different.

    And here I thought I was going to see a 1796 no stars $2.50 or an 1808 $5. ;)

    Still hunting for the just right addition to make this set whole but I found a rider along the way..1975 Mort Reed Numistamp to play along.

    The No Stars Seated design has been my favorite for many years. I like your 1838-O dime the most; great fields and color contrast.
    I hope you don't mind if I post my 1838-O Dime. It is one of 3 coins my wife actually has liked in my collections. James

    You have a wife who actually looks at your coins? Mine secretly thinks collecting “old money” is dumb.

    @KBBPLL . We have an agreement. I pay attention to her crafts and knitting; she looks at any coin I add to my set. Bear in mind we have been married 45 years and she has only actually liked 3 coins.
