Are you now acquiring proofs?

 

They seem to be undervalued to me, and I have a few. I wonder if the prices will someday come in line with the scarcity?

 

A few of the latest Capped Bust Half Dimes for the die variety collection. Between FUN and a couple of on-line auctions, I've picked up 3 raw and 7 slabbed varieties.

There are a total of 122 die marriages and remarriages in this series. I now have 55 total CBHDs with some duplicates and 49 different die marriages. Got a ways to go.

 

The 2022 uncirculated mint set

 

I got an unexpected extra few bucks recently, sooooo, this happened - for less than $150 (slightly over with shipping), I now have a (damaged) 1807 draped bust dime! This goes nicely with my damaged draped bust halves (1806 & 1807), draped bust quarter, draped bust cents and half cents. I am feeling a type set developing here! PCGS estimates just 1000 survivors for the 1807 dime (likely because of the worn dies and common usage of the denomination) - R-5.0.
From NGC: The mintage of 1807 dimes is taken from two deliveries of 80,000 and 95,000 pieces, respectively, all of these produced by June 30. Just a single die pair is known. This reverse die was used also for quarter eagles dated 1805, 1806/4, 1806/5 and 1807. Most 1807 dimes were coined after the dies had become worn and clashed and had been repolished one or more times. The result was that many of these coins have shallow details and incomplete strikes. According to the NGC Price Guide, as of July 2022, a Dime from 1807 in circulated condition is worth between $425 and $5850. However, on the open market 1807 Dimes in pristine, uncirculated condition sell for as much as $185000.
This is an 1807 Draped Bust Dime JR-1 slabbed by NGC graded Fair Details. Sellers pictures, I'm super excited to have it! This coin was made when Thomas Jefferson was President. Imagine the hands this coin has gone through! Wow!

 

Thanks for showing us you 1928 Standing Liberty. The best I could afford was a 1924, NGC: MS61.

 

I didn't intend on doing it, but I had 2 ASE-W's in my enrollment with 3 in each enrollment.
I saw that you had pictured your coins in the shipping box. I don't know how many of you store them in their shipping boxes, but I found that it is preferable to storing them in the box they are displayed in (the little boxes). I then have a large magazine storing box for each year. I didn't buy much before 2008, so anything before 2008 are kept in one box. I like to print out the USM information on each of the boxes and I keep a spreadsheet for each year of purchase. Being retired, I have too much time on my hands.

 

Just arrived, posted previously in the under $50 thread but my own photos this time. Obverse 1 over Reverse 3, scarce combo, fun to have for 12 bucks. It worked its butt off and retired.

 

This Jeff has Monticello lip...as you can see the clash from his lips to behind the neck.

 

In the mail Saturday

 

Just wondering, why is US coinage now containing inscriptions in Spanish? Isn't the official language in the US still English or is the country now officially bi-lingual like Canada? I must have missed that.

 

This one returned home with me from a local coin show Saturday.

 

Contrary to popular belief, there is no official language for the good old U S of A
