Re: a first for me a 1831 bust dime

WOW!!!!
I would grade this coin VF30 maybe a point or two higher.
Its hard to grade from a picture....
List value $ 100.00 - $ 150.00
A cleaned coin is always worth a bit less than an uncleaned coin but for a dug coin.....

Great coin !!!

That dime is stupendous. Consider how many worn Barbers and Mercs we dig up.

Had to be a thrill to see that beauty come out of the ground looking like that. Silver is a noble metal.

Re: a first for me a 1831 bust dime

Just looking at that coin makes the hair on my arms rise. If I found a silver that old, I think I would be staring at it all day long for a while. What a great coin to find, and at 3.5 inches, truly unbelievable.

Congrats,

Re: a first for me a 1831 bust dime

That is a very nice bust dime, one of the better I have seen over the years congrats! I don't know about the bust dimes but there are a multitude of different varieties of bust half dimes, you might want to research your bust dime to see which variety it is. Again nice find!
