Check the reverse letters closely; I'm seeing little things that worry me but they might be the image - voids at the top and bottom of round letters, etc. Beyond that the diameter is no worry. It's partly the Dansco and partly the variability of diameter of this issue.

This was a large-size dime. The 7070 has a space for only the small-size bust dimes. Still need this type for my collection, though.

SuperSuper it's just my pics. I didn't realize the variation in size until I read it on line. Live and learn. My education continues...  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

I'm going to say this is likely JR-3 or JR-4
They share the same reverse which lacks a period after the C
It can't be JR-1 or JR-2 since those have the period; JR-5 has the StatesOf reverse.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That explains it then. Are there any others out there like this other then the Busts?

Yes there are large and small size capped bust coins as the mint switched over from the old open collar coining methods to the newer closed collar methods in 1836. Interestingly enough, the early coins minted with open collars all varied in diameter due to the collar being open and allowing the coins to squeeze. This was discussed in an earlier article about capped bust half diameters. https://goccf.com/t/194057Just a little info. |

I was able to grind down the coins edge all around with my Dremel. Fits fine now.

The old large cents seem to also have a fair degree of variability in them as well. I had to use shims to keep them from spinning around.
I have an 1821 Bust Dime and an 1825 Bust Quarter that I'd love to put into my 7070 if they would fit!

Coin looks legit. Considering the amount of wear this coin has, and the general size of the dimes, there was little incentive to counterfeit them back then. I would also venture that if it was recent work (e.g. Chinese), it would be in better condition (VF or better).
