Unusually choice 1844 dime in the perfect grade!

[James_OldeTowne]

It isn't for sale, but I thought you might enjoy viewing an unusually choice 1844 dime. I grade it only F-12, but it is an exquisite original. LIBERTY is wonderfully bold, and there is nary a mark or abrasion to detract.

 

What do you think of it?

 

Enjoy!

That's a darn nice looking coin. I didn't look at the Jumbo-Tron image, is there a reverse image available?

It's part of the Jumbotron, Mr. Unnoticing!

You have to forgive him, he had silver ions in his eyes!

[aem4162-migration]

Now *that* coin has no luster. I guess Iwog was right after all.

Sorry goose, it was sold before I bought it!!

 

Actually, I have several customers wanting an 1844 dime, but other than the hoard that Heritage offered a while back, nice examples some to market very infrequently. There are usually AG examples, or damaged examples available, but if you try right now to go find a really nice, original specimen in Fine or Very Fine, your bound to be very disappointed. This coin fell into my lap unexpectedly, and I didn't even hesitate. It has no rim nicks, no dings, really not even a single hairline evident. Just a wholesome, near-perfect coin, so difficult to locate in such a heavily circulated grade.

 

Thanks for all the great feedback!

James: What format is the image? I can not get either version of the image to appear. All I get is the little box with the X in it.

this was an old thread revived by someone.

 

that dime is probably long gone (sold)

 

it was a nice one though!!
