Let me start this by saying a few things... 1. I love her. 2. She has problems. 3. I overpaid. 4. I love her. Would like to hear some thoughts on what y'all would pay for her...   |

Without even knowing the price, the way you feel about it means you got a good deal. Congrats.

There is a lot of meat on that coin. The details look AU+ easy. Sure there may be some issues but being happy with the piece is the main thing. Wouldn't it be something if it turned out to be a special strike? Only 2 were minted! Both were 1839-O No Drapery. This one brought $75,000! http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?hdnJu...=542&x=0&y=0 |

It's a nice coin and the problems are not that bad. Enjoy!

11. She is a beautiful rainbow toned piece
12. Her eye appeal far outweighs her issues
13. Love her despite her issues and learn to accept her shortcomings, then both will be happy :-)

Is that an 'O' over 'O' mintmark? Nice coin.  |

It is an O over O... Not the most pronounced version I have seen but still there. Will someone please tell me what you would have payed for her? I need a little reassurance here...

That's what I saw too! The O/O mintmark. What is going on between the mintmark(s) and DIME?
I would say $65. She is a nice looking dime too!

Gorgeous Dime! I just picked up a 1839 D as an impulse buy, no where near as nice as yours tho!

I would say $65.  I wish I would have paid, had I wanted this one that badly, $125 max. I love your coin and I love the color on the reverse but my VERY amateur opinion says the scratches to the mirror on the obverse coupled with the gouge between the mint mark and DIME on the reverse take a seemingly XF45 coin and offer it a details grade down towards VF level money. But who cares what you paid...you LOVE it and that is what matters. |

I need to start thinking about looking at getting one of these. They seem to be popular and I need to add to my collection. Great looking coin!

Look at it this way. If it was problem-free and certified AU it would be worth about $600. The max should be about $150 to someone who really wants it. It's interesting looking at auction results for this date. They blow the price guide (PCGS!) away in all higher circulated grades (VF to AU). |

Net grade of VF sounds about right; EF details, cleaned, artificially toned. $65 or so is a reasonable price considering the issues.

Another one in @ AU Details.
Toning does look suspect.
