<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USMoneylover, post: 1249301, member: 26802&quot;]Yesterday was the first day of the Dalton, GA coin show, and I had some pretty good luck.&nbsp; I was at the show for about 20 minutes when I stumbled up to a table with several bust dimes, including a &quot;damaged&quot; 1809.&nbsp; This is a tough coin even in lower and damaged grades, and was priced EXTREMELY fair.&nbsp; I took a quick look at the coin to confirm it was genuine, paid the dealer and went on my way.&nbsp; A short time later I came to my local dealer&#039;s table and took a closer look at the coin and showed it to him.&nbsp; Now for the good news: The &quot;damage&quot; is actually a planchet defect, not PMD.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty happy about this find to say the least!</p><p><img src="http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h429/usmoneylover/CBD/1809Plancheterror.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My next find was an 1830 JR-1 (R-4+)&nbsp; This is a tough variety which is mostly found in VG.&nbsp; I estimate this coin to be VF20-25.&nbsp; I actually found this same marriage a few months ago in a bit higher grade (VF35), so this is a duplicate marriage, but a nice one!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h429/usmoneylover/CBD/1830jr1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The last dime I found was an 1820 JR-9 (R-4).&nbsp; This is a lower grade coin, and has seen some honest use.&nbsp; The die bulge through stars 1-3 are common to this marriage, and are actually what tipped me off when I saw it in the dealers case.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h429/usmoneylover/CBD/1820jr9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
