So I have wanted a coin of this type for quite a while now, not a priority but one that I really did want.   I find the no star seated dime design to be so clean, uncluttered, and simple, just an elegant presentation of the design.   I was able to aquire this piece from a PCGS forum member on the BST ats, I think this is a very wholesome, unmolested coin with some a very original look to her.   In addition this was the first year of operation for the New Orleans mint, which adds that little bit extra coolness factor for me.  So here she is, an 1838 - O no stars seated dime, PCGS XF40.  Photos courtesy of the seller, a bit lighter in hand then the photos suggest with a touch more color.
 
 

I picked this one up today at a local auction.
 
 

My tax refund bought this, my first and more than likely only proof Morgan.

I "think" it's silver.

Man, look at that toning!!! It's amazing!! If I could find a West German silver 5 Mark with toning like that, I'd be one happy guy!! Thanks for sharing that one, Robec.

Just a few weeks into the spa membership!

Why? Or “how” did this little piece of copper survive the histories?

The only cure is,    “just when you think you’ve had enough, have one more”. 

One of the most appealing half dimes I’ve seen in a while 😍
If you ever want to part with that one give me first dibs. I have a collection of toned seated dimes and half dimes I am very slowly building. This is a real looker. Well done sir. Well done.
