That dime is very nice and would be a good compliment to the OP's Half Dime. Low mintages for both, 70,000 for the Half Dime and 406,000 for the dime. |

ElmerFlick I would certainly agree with that! That is a pretty one. There are lots of 1838-O dimes in VF and lower - in higher grades, like yours, not so easy. That would make a good companion to my new 1838-O H10C, as MisterT says. My own example is in lower grade.  |

I think you definitely made the right call keeping it and I agree that it's probably XF details. You could always sell it for a pretty nice profit and put that money towards one that does straight grade. Other than that ding, it's really nice, great color!

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

As tempting as it might be sometimes, not every coin has to be perfect to be appreciated.
