Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 02/25/2014 5:46 pm Not the most spectacular coins, but when a friend offered to buy something for my collection, I took him up on it and picked up not one, but two coins that fit within the price range together. an 1827 Bust Dime, shame it looks like a road coin. And an 1853-O Half Dime, holed and filled, not easy to tell from the image but the back 'humps' of the '3' are still visible by the arrow, so it's a datable piece. Anyone care to guess how much was paid for these? Or maybe say how much you'd have paid yourself? I dunno, just excited to get some new type coins! Report this Post to the Staff

The 1827 dime might not fit in the 7070 slot tho - it's a large diameter and the slot is for a small. I had a really nice 1821 and it was too big.

I would start with a pen or pencil, but you may need a utility knife or razor (scrape only, do not cut or slice). Just be patient!

And I guess for what I paid, the pair together was under $9.. The dime was $6 and the half-dime was only $2.25. Report this Post to the Staff
