Thanks guys. Attributing these capped dimes seems not to be an easy task. I find attributing large cents difficult enough. I can imagine that...
That is very, very close to it GD, Thank! PS- how did you do that?
Hello friends, Can anybody attribute this 1829 dime for me please? Thanks! PS-sorry for the blue tint of the pictures (bad lighting).

H.T, Thank you for pointing out these issues to us. You are absolutely right about the prevalence of coin doctoring. Look at this auction listing...

Those are very nice coins! I specially like the Mansfeld Taler. That New York coin fair must be something else. Congratulations on some...
Thank you 900fine, i took my inspiration for this from a 1999 catalogue which specialized in coins of 1796. Thanks you for adding some...
Here are a few of the events that ocurred in the year 1796. Our coins provide us a bridge to those events of long ago, and help us to appreciate...
That portrait has got character. Nice coin!

Glad you guys liked it. As you mentioned Silvereagle, the Republic of Chile also minted similar Volcano motives in Gold (8, 4 2 and 1 escudo)...
And you have every reason to be excited - MS62? I am sure that penny set back quite a few pennies!
