Quote from the 'Bust Dime Identification Guide', P39: '' 1811 dimes were produced with an unused 1809 die. The digits 11 were punched over the 09...
Very nice 1835, JR-9! Notice how the '3' is low, and the 2nd 'T' in STATES also. Those are the characteristics.
Thank you for posting the picture of the coin which was found in the UK. I looked for it was there was no reference to be found. It seems that...
@bqcoins, very cool pair of coffee-limk - I just hope that 1821 is not a R-6 variety! @ldhair, that is a very nice 1827, JR-4. I admire the...
Yes, that is a nice one, with a fine portrait of Septimius Severus.
That is a beautiful and of course very historical coin. I saw it at the British Museum in 2008 If I recall and was very impressed. I wonder how...
1811/09 is an interesting year. The same set of dies were used as for the 1809, with the digits '11' punched over the '09'. The reverse die...

Thanks Guys, for your positive comments, and for posting your examples. @deacon2828, that is a very interesting cud. The Capped Bust Dime Variety...
I do, and I love these little coins. Besides early large cents and colonials, the CBD's are perhaps my favorite U.S series. Within the Capped...
Beautiful!
Nice coin! When it comes to coinage bearing portraits of Roman ladies, @Mat is your guy. He will probably be along soon and comment on your new...
Thank you everybody once again for your helpful comment and tips. I will catalogue this coin in my collection as RIC VII 213.
That is a great analysis, SuperDave. Thank you for your dedication and for the link to the Seated Dollar Site.
OK, its getting late over here so I will let you know how NGC graded it. But first, many thanks for all your responses: your opinions ranged...
Thank you, everybody, for your replies. Most appreciated. I think I am still unclear about this...acsearch mentions the terms Nummus, Follis and...
I am a bit in the dark about this coin as it is outside the area/century which I collect. It is a Constantine I that much I am sure of, but not...
