Here are a few of my Bust Dimes the first 1834 I've had since I started collecting as a kid back in 1963.

 

These are my Favorites the Bust Half Dimes.

 

And my last one I picked up in September another 1929

 

@ldhair, that 1829 is actually quite a nice looking coin. It looks appealing and
I like it.
It is, btw, a JR-7 variety.


Paddy, quite a selection you have there!
Your 1832 10C is a JR-1.

I saw the curled base on '2' of the 1829 expecting dimes, and was about to go, wow! (1829 Curled Base 2). Then I realized I was looking at a H10C.

Very nice group of half dimes.

 

On to the next year, 1824.

Only 2 varieties exist for the year 1824: 1824/2 JR-1 and JR-2.

JR-1 is fairly common. It is characterized by a flat top '1' in '10 C'.

JR-2 is a truly rare coin in the Capped Bust Dimes Series. It is primarily distinguished by a pointed top '1' in '10 C'.

JR-2 was only discovered in 1982. To this day, less than approx. 46 examples are known. The best known is EF. Any JR-2 in grade above VG is considered very rare.

I was very fortunate to add a JR-2 PCGS VG10 to my collection last summer. This is the kind of coin you may want encapsulated.

1824/2 JR-1:





1824/2 JR-2:

A coin which is very difficult to photograph!

 

Congrats on getting featured.

 

A few slabbed examples. Sorry about my photo skills.

 

Is anything here worth taking a closer look at?

 

No...
But your collection is really impressive!!!

 

Eduard, thanks for attributing my JR-1, and showing the difference with the JR-3.

 

Having a hard time getting good shots of my cbd. Gotta perfect my technique. Lighting is really messing me up. Well here it is. I think it's a high vf low xf.

 

I do not, per se, collect them, but I like them. They're pretty little coins. Here's my one and only. I got it for the Type set. After I got it, I found out it was a plate coin in the Bust Dime Variety ID Guide.

 

I have only one, for my Type Set

 

Nice coin @ToughCOINS! I am almost sure your 1829 is a JR-11 variety, which has a rarity rating of R-4. Pretty scarce as they come.

@Skyman, I say it again, that 1835 of yours is a superlative coin!
It is the plate coin for the variety in the Dime I.D Guide.

 

Next up is an 1827, variety JR-2.

This is a very scarce die marriage characterized by the flat-top '1' in the dominator.
About 40-45 are known give or take, most in G to VG, but it is still possible to find one in the wild. They turn up every so often in Ebay.
1827 JR-2 is a Red-Book variety.

 

Thanks for posting this one Eduard that's another one to be looking for in the Variety world of collecting . Pretty neat .....
