What's Trending in Vintage & Antiques — Week of November 9

The things worth finding this week are hiding in coin boxes, jewelry cases, old pockets, and kitchen shelves. Look closely at the portrait on a dime, the carved face on a ring, the engraved surface of a small silver box, and the glass pattern on a plate.

Roosevelt Dimes — 4× vs. last week

Found this week: United States Roosevelt Dime — Est. $8

Roosevelt Dimes moved this week, and a cupronickel coin bearing Roosevelt's portrait is the one to have in hand.

Photograph both sides flat — the portrait's detail and any mint mark are what you want clearly in frame.

Cameo Rings — 4× vs. last week

Found this week: Vintage Cameo Ring — Est. $711

This week Cameo Rings picked up, with the carved profile portrait on a vintage piece in gold or shell drawing real attention.

Shoot the carved face straight on from above — crisp lines in the profile and the material of the setting are both worth showing.

Vesta Cases — 6× vs. last week

Found this week: Antique Sterling Silver Vesta Case — Est. $159

Vesta Cases had the week's biggest jump, and an Art Nouveau sterling silver piece with hand-engraved surface detail is what's sparking interest.

Hold it at an angle so the light catches the engraved lines, then flip it to show any hallmark stamp on the base.

Bubble Plates — still a Tocuro staple

Found this week: Anchor Hocking Bubble Plate — Est. $13

Bubble Plates are holding their ground, and Anchor Hocking's glass plate with its raised bead rows and starburst center keeps showing up.

Set it in natural light and scan from above — you want the concentric bead pattern and the starburst design both clearly visible.
