Thanks for the comments so far. I appreciate them. I retired last year and have been reevaluating my collection of U.S., world and Roman coins. I have been working to sell off some of the "bulk" in my collection to purchase some quality U.S. coins. I figure I will both enjoy owning them and, when the time comes, they will be easier to sell. The Capped Bust Dime is scheduled to arrive on Friday. In the meantime, here are enlargements of the seller's photos.   Paul Bulgerin

Here is by far the best photo of the 1825 Capped Bust Dime, the photo of it in MY hand!  Paul Bulgerin

I like the minty even brightness of it. Not the dark tarnished specimens you usually see in 19th century uncirculated coins.

That is one shimmering gem. I like the folks at coast to coast. They handle a lot of nice material. I picked up my 1877 cent and a 1796 silver dollar from them.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This was my second purchase from Coast to Coast Coins. I have found them to be friendly, professional and they ship very quickly. The first was this gorgeous 1908-O Barber half dollar. These two coins are by far the most expensive I have ever purchased.  Paul Bulgerin

I like Coast to Coast as well, but let's be clear, you're paying high full retail. |

What a beauty. I remember that they would carry many examples of key date coins even a year ago, but nowadays you have to put yourself of waiting lists. It seems like nice stuff is in demand and moves quickly. I think this outfit and west coast coins have the deepest inventory.
