Thanks all. I found them both in the UK and brought them both home. I emailed the dealer about the 1905 Barber Half and asked him where he found it and was informed from an estate out there and that there were more US coins. When I saw that one was an 1895 dime toned, I immediately purchased it. That's a toughie. Thanks @jbuck I'll head over there to GTP season 91 now.
That's not the 1820 STATESOF reverse. There are other markers but the letters are much closer together and the left side of the banner on the reverse points to the inside of the "E" in UNITED. Be careful if you buy one. I've seen a handful of 1820 attributed to be the STATESOF variety by TPGs that have gotten it wrong. Always make sure that the banner on the left side points to the inside of the "E" and the right side of the banner points to the middle of the "M."
@Errers and Varietys @igwt79 @Dearborn @ijn1944 Thanks all. I already had a better graded one, but in my heart, I feel that this is a major upgrade just for the toning.
Thank you all. The toning is brighter on the obverse than it appears, and I was pleasantly surprised by the cartwheel effect all around. This was found across the pond in England. No tariff was assessed in this transaction.
I phrased it incorrectly. The banner is positioned correctly; however, the spacing of the letters in United States of America are positioned differently in some of the varieties.
@Hondo There are 12 varities (JR-1 through JR-12) for the 1829 capped bust dime. The one you happen to be showing is JR-2 variety. The stars on the obverse and the banner and 10C. on the reverse have different positionings with all the varieties, which makes collecting them for me a whole lot of fun. The varieties are also different for the years so you can't say JR-3 variety is the same for another year. That may have a different JR designation for it. These multiple varities occur to an extent for every year of the capped bust dimes except for 1822 where there's only 1 die marriage (1 variety). To put things in perspective, some have the banner ending pointing at the beginning of "M" in "America", others pointing at the middle of the "M", and others pointing near the end of the "M."
There is only one 1829 variety for which there is a curl base 2 (with maybe 40 known) and that's the JR-10 variety with a rarity designation of 5. The 1829 in question has a large date instead of a small one, the stars on the obverse are in the wrong position, the banner is positioned incorrectly, and the 10C is postioned incorrectly as well. Big time fake. I know of no other variety for the 1829 with a curl base 2 for the year. Here's how it should look for the 1829 with the curl base 2. Good catch @ chirrrs. If it were real it would be.... who knows...a $50,000 - $100,000 coin in XF/AU+. The sky's the limit if it were real.
