<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 522331, member: 8959&quot;]Zane, i have not done much research on the 1828 open collar dime, BUT i do know that it is scarce: I have been observing for about a year the frequency of appearance of that issue at auction (including eBAY), and i can tell you that it does not come up often.</p><p>The closed collar on the other hand comes up regularly. I think the open collar issue is one of those unrecognized scarce coins. I am still looking for a suitable one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1822 issue comes up for sale about 4-8 times a year (approximately).&nbsp; As i said, there are about 10 in MS, 30-40 in VF-AU58, and approximately 200 in VG or lower. I got these fugures from a discussion in another forum where the 1822&#039;s are discussed and followed with interest.&nbsp; Just for information, Shawn Yancey has one right one on offer. A wholesome G4 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS- One last bit of information: the supposedly scarce 1844 Orphan Annie dime has shown up for auction about 60 times in 2008. Heritage alone had a run of about 25+ pieces. Ebay has about 5-8 right now.&nbsp; The price guides have the 1844 at about same value as the 1846 dime (even higher in lower grades). By comparison the 1846 has shown up about 4 times in 2008 (that i know off).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
