Lets see some dimes.

I thought it should be graded higher also, maybe not 69, but ..........

It's actually a proof, not MS. It's PR64+.

All I need to complete the set now is the 1916-D. Good thing it isn't an expensive, in-demand coin.

 

Another beauty found in change

 

Speaking of die cracks ...

 

Goodness........

 

Struck thru

 

I metal detected where a restaurant had just been razed in downtown Fernandina Beach Florida. Prior to that a house sat on the lot until it burned down. This was the richest site I’ve ever found. In addition to the 2 half dimes and 3 dimes, I found Indian Head pennies including an 1864 “Fatty”, Wheat pennies, Barber quarters, a pistol, Minie balls, musket balls and a horseshoe. Two weeks later I saw 50 feet of sidewalk was gone. Found another Minie ball and a 1718 2 Reale, my oldest coin.

 

Love that 1860, great coins

 

The type of dimes which I collect are not easily found in top grades (well, they can be found, but then you gotta pay the price...).

These are examples from my focus collection of Capped Busts.

 

1822's

 

Do you have any solo shots of the 1829? Looks really nice!

 

Unfortunately, I don't have one. I thought I did, but it seems I only have individual pictures for the key dates. I will look for it, though, next time I visit the SDB.
