Here is my 1835 bust dime. Graded AU 58 with nice toning. The scratch on the cheek is on the slab not the coin.
@paddyman98 When I was gowning up "Drop the dime" had a different meaning. It indicated you called/talked to the police.
I used to be a very active dime collector. Still am, but have slowed down a bit focusing on other areas.
A details coin but one of my favorites. Interestingly, I have recently seen equivalently scratched coins in PCGS and NGC holders that were straight-graded. H'mmm.
Another of my favorites, the 1853 No Arrows. Just 95,000 minted. This was the plate coin for Kamal Ahwash's book.
There is so much eye candy in this thread. Absolutely love it! I'll try to post a couple of mine this weekend. Until then keep 'em coming!
I have no idea how they came up with a date but, someone said they picked the first year of issue. FB is beyond me where they came up with that.
So many stellar and beautiful coins, so I think I'll just post some circulated ones to round out this thread...
