I dont think you did bad. Greysheet has it in G for 25 bucks.

I think you did fine. It looks to be in 'Good' condition and you paid less than wholesale.

You probably did OK. Without better pictures, including the reverse, it's impossible to tell if there are problems with the coin that would dictate a lower price. From what is visible, I would not hesitate to fork over $17-18 for a dime in similar condition.

I say it is a good buy. Did you get it locally or from online/mail-order?

I got it off ebay. I was just flipping through when I saw the auction. I thought they did an awful job of titling it and describing it. 1835 10c coin was about it. It was about to end, but the price seemed good to me. I figure I can get a capped bust dime for just 15ish plus shipping. I didn't see and haven't see the back of the coin. I could still get messed up, I guess. I am still not sure why they listed it where they listed it with just a crap title. Oh well... hopefully I got a good deal on my first capped bust. -SFWUSC |

Looks like that coin could tell an interesting story!

ebay has great deals if you are patient. I once bought a "set of 6 old dimes" with a picture of 3 of the best. the three shown were 40's mercurys in XF. the other three were a VF barber, VG barber, and VG seated liberty. good deal for $11 your dime is another example of a hidden great deal. congrats

Ok I need to scan it. The back was very well worn. That might be why it wasn't scanned. :) I think G is a fair grade.
Oh well... The guy did through in a free foreign silver coin as a bonus. Maybe that makes up for the poor reserve.
