I have a few(maybe 2 or 3) half dimes and several older dimes, but don't actively collect them. I think if you searched on my name you could find pictures of them.

 

Here is one more.this 1873 maybe a doubled die.and I found that in a roll last month

 

I tried to, back before I gave up on US coins. A date/mintmark collection of G-VF half dimes would sure be a thing to see.

 

I really like dimes. My main focus is Roosevelts but I have a few Mercs and Barbers. No half dimes, yet.

 

I collect all type Dimes Roosevelt are high on my list too. the more toned the better!

 

I collect both but have not worked on them in years.

 

I collect them as part of a type set. Here are a few (the '37 HD was cleaned, and purchased as such).

 

a couple more:

 

There's some really good stuff on this thread. :thumb:

I don't collect 'em by date / mint... I'm a type man myself. Here's one...

 

Opportunity knocks...

Not an area that I pursue, but clearly one with promise for the dedicated collector. One of the glaring anamolies of The Red Book is the pricing on Bust Dimes and Half Dimes. Issues with half the mintage have the same price as the more common. It has been like that since Day One. Whether this truly reflects a golden opportunity for the aficianado remains to be seen... over the next 40 years... But clearly, if you wish to pursue these, you have an open door to finding your own value in the acquisitions.

Byron Reed (not the famous dead one) has a special interest in these and has done much to support their study. See his webpages at

WoW some true gems!!!!
I never knew we had so many Dime collectors. keep posting them gems!!!!!

 

Don't really collect them too hard. They're just another type that I once in a while get the urge to add to the collection. I'm a big fan of the Liberty Seated design and their reverse with the later variety wreath.

I nabbed this one off Ebay last night. It's a two tails 9, Breen variety:








Here's what one looks like after it's been spent a few times:






This is my best Merc. OGH PCGS MS66FB:

 

For my type set I have an example of each dime issue back through the Capped Bust design, both varieties.
For my type set I have an example of each half dime issues back through the Capped Bust design.
I'm also trying to put together a set of all the Red Book listed Capped Bust half dime varieties. It's not easy finding them in the XF/AU grade range with original surfaces.

 

I agree 100%

I know the feeling Bust half dimes.even Seated half dimes are getting rare

 

WoW Idhair is that 1916 MS65/66FP?
1862 & 1849-O & 1905 are real Gem's to!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks. 65FB

 

Your welcome! thanks for shearing them with us!
I am looking for a 1849-O to upgrade my seated set.so if you see one PM me.

 

Tough coin. Many had the rusty die problem making it even tougher.
