This the best looking Bust dime I've ever seen, and for once I own this one. This an NGC MS-65.

Very nice Bill!

 

The rest of them look nice too.

 

For some reason, the half dollar seems to be much more popular. I certainly like it better myself. I just never could get into those small coins.

It all gets back to the old saying, "Bigger is better" when it comes to coins and a lot of other things. In my view the art work on some of the Bust half dollars from the 1830s is not as good as that you will find the other smaller coins.

 

I've always liked the looks of the large size Bust quarter.

Barndog, that ones all tarnished. You should probably send it to me and get a clean one.
