1835 Bust Dime Opinions wanted

[FishyOne]

Greetings: I came across this 1835 Bust dime and would like to get some opinions. What do you think the coin is worth (current market retail)? What do you think of the assigned grade? Toning? Eye appeal?

 

It's priced at 64 money. The pedigree is certainly a factor here also. This type of toning I really like and capped bust dimes are one of my favorite series. I appreciate your opinion.

I can't grade between 63 and 64 but I like the original look. I'd love to own that coin but it is on the pricey side

I have seen some of the Eliasberg half-dimes (and of course other so-pedigreed coins), and believe the grading tended to err on the high side. The images aren't too great and make the coin appear to lack luster. It just looks a little "murky". You can take a chance, as I believe Julian offers a gracious return policy for his coins.

I think the coin is nice and original, but the price is too high even when accounting for a premium for the Eliasberg pedigree.

It looks like a nice coin at way too much money.

I would have to see it in hand, know the die variety JR1 and compare with other JR1's. There is some weak definition in Ms. Liberty's hair around the eye and ear so I am wondering if JR1's always are this way or if this piece is not struck well compared to other JR1's. It has nice tone to be sure but I would like to see the luster in hand and check for surface blemishes.

 

Best, HT

I really like the coin....just not that much.

Priced at whatever the market will bear?

 

Other overpricing methods IMO: price pedigree material as well as supposedly lock upgrade material at next higher grade. Price raw sliders at MS money with a slick sales routine behind it. Crack out purple holder problem coins and sell them as perfectly good choice coins. If you score a homerun with a lucky coin that gets into a big upgrade holder, still tout it as PQ+ and as a high end sure to CAC coin....

I own this one in the same grade. JR-8 if I'm not mistaken. MJ

If you think the pedigree and the toning is worth that extra grade point, go ahead and pay MS64 money for this MS63 dime.
