The latest featured coin proves you don't need to break the bank to get an early US type coin. Although many investors are looking for mint state coins, a high-end circulated coin can fit the bill in most type sets. This is especially true if you are patient and look for a high-quality XF45-AU55 coin. We prefer coins where wear isn't immediately apparent. Slight, even wear that's toned nicely can make a coin look as good as a mint state coin.

This 1829 dime is a perfect example. For under $400, you can buy a PCGS-certified silver coin nearly 200 years old, still showing most of its original detail. The stars on the obverse are fully struck, and the eagle's feathers on the reverse have nearly full details. The slight wear in the hair is barely noticeable due to the natural, even toning on the coin. This is the kind of value we look for, and we hope you'll find it throughout our inventory.
