<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 880615, member: 7638&quot;]Now I have a dollar, half dollar, and quarter in my DB set; I finally found a dime I liked at a reasonable price. It has a nice patina of gray-bronze, with a little sparkle on the reverse. The straight overhead lit images make it look a bit dull, so I also made axial images that show more of the details and color (and a barely visible (in hand) toned in light scratch on the bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>The capped bust, heraldic eagle design was a Robert Scot design; there are 2 major varieties for 1805, the more common 4 berries, cross-array stars variety (this coin) and the 5 berries, arc-array stars.&nbsp; The reverse on this coin is rotated almost 30 degrees clockwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, comments- positive or constructively critical, are welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>standard images, overhead lighting:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/half%20dimes%20and%20dimes/Bustdime1805obv-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/half%20dimes%20and%20dimes/Bustdime1805rev-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>axial light images:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Bustdime1805obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Bustdime1805rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
