A 1913 BL 10 cent in EF-45, with outstanding eye appeal. In fact, most key dates in affordable grades that are clearly much nicer than the grade would suggest. The value is in the appearance of the coin, not the grade.

 In my opinion a RARE coin that is seldom seen let alone talked about is the 1892, Large 9 Canada dime. This coin, even in a G-4 grade is a most coveted coin. I would not hesitate to purchase an Obverse #5 above trends. Glenn  |

HHB, yes...I'm always looking for the "right" one. My bank account hopes that I never find it though.

I don't know what an MS-64 (let alone a 66) is worth, but I'm guessing upwards of $50,000...a little rich for my blood. A guy can dream though.

For US coins, "white" or attractively-toned MS-PR Barbers  |

Just saw that MS-64 broad leaves, HHB. Wow. Makes mine look like a filthy piece of change found on the street. Now if I just sell my car, and my truck, and roll up all my change...
You should buy it, then I can live vicariously through you.

the 1889 dime I have not seen one sell for years does anyone the story behind its scarcity according to J&M's there were 600,000 minted?

Sometimes I'll pay above trend if it is a coin that is very hard to find in a particular condition or if I just happen to have some Christmas money on hand lol

The 1889 10c are indeed very hard to find, but they are out there. Existing population is probably in the low hundreds. The 1893 RT3 is even tougher.

With regard to the 1889 10 cent piece...
The mintage of that was recorded as 600 000, but I remember reading somewhere that only about 15 000 (or so) were ever actually circulated. The 1889 10 cent coin is rare, and I'm not sure why the price is not higher than that of the 1890H 50 cent coin, as this dime appears to be significantly scarcer.
The only explanation I can come up with is that people prefer collecting Victorian halves to Victorian dimes, and they are willing to shell out more to get the 50 cent pieces.
By the way, another Victorian coin that I wouldn't mind paying above trends for is the 1873 5 cent coin from Newfoundland in a respectable grade such as VF+ or higher.
