I keep regular track of auction appearances of this very scarce capped Bust Dime. The key to the series. This example on Ebay is certainly NOT an 1822 dime, and is most likely an 1832. Probably/Hopefully just an honest error on the part of the seller. Here are the Ebay pics, as well as photos of a genuine example. You will readily see the differences, for example the positioning of the obverse stars relative to the bust, and of the reverse legends relative to the central devices. There are other differences as well.
You would hope that is an honest error by the seller @Eduard ..... I too a a fellow that likes to believe in peoples honest intentions. Sadly here lately it seems Ebay has become a den of thieves anymore. I won't entertain any coin purchases from Ebay any longer unless it is somebody that I know.
Clearly 1832. The notch in 3 is evident and the first star is way off compared to 1822 (which only had one die variety according to PCGS). I do not trust anyone's honest intentions on ebay. My view is that it's way more likely that the seller is trying to pull one over on a gullible (greedy) buyer. Contact the seller and see what they say. A link to the listing always helps.
Definitely a well circulated and worn 1832. People tend to get excited with things like this and they always go for the more expensive one, like a 1822. Only a difference of about $2200.00.
Selling very worn 1832's, or 1828's as 1822's happens every so often, most times probably harmless mistakes. As you guys say, the difference in value, even at AG3 or less is huge. Here a link to the ebay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3967075557...9ng4WtkUKMfh2V0SbcpRfIU3Zl|tkp:Bk9SR7SQ8Z3qZQ
First thing I noticed was the small size of the date and how far away the 2 was from the hair curl and the 1 from the bust, The date font on the 1822 is larger.
The 1822 dime is a slightly different type coin from the 1832. That alone should be an indicator. The 1832 dime was stuck in a collar and has sharp reeding. The 1822 does not. I don't have an 1822 dime, but here are the two type coins. "Close Collar" type "Closed Collar" Type
My first thought was the close collar smaller size later date too. Everything about this coin has that appearance a fine set of machinist calipers would prove it as well
Seller's other listings include two counterfeits marketed as "fantasy" coins and a gold-plated "tribute proof set", described as exonumia in the description. I suspect that the seller knows that the OP coin is not 1822.
