For reading and informational purposes - a new Pinnacle article on Seated Liberty dimes...

Below is a link to a new Pinnacle article on Seated Liberty dimes. It lists, illustrates and discusses the major types, provides some historical and rarity information, offers some ways to collect them and some tips for collectors.

I debated whether or not to post this here and am satisfied that it is aimed at providing information, rather than at selling, so hopefully I wont be accused of spam. If anyone here disagrees with my assessment, please feel free to let me know.

Mark, if you had not done it, I would have. In fact, later I will post a link to the article on commems, which is equally excellent.

P.S. Now make sure to post a link on the NGC boards, so they do not feel left out.

Very nice article, Mark!

A few comments...

Under the pic of the 1840, you said:
In 1838, thirteen stars were added to the obverse. The Stars Obverse type was struck at the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints. True to Christian Gobrecht’s original design, and as on the No Stars type, Liberty was shown with no folds of her gown beneath her extended left arm.
Her left arm is flexed, not extended.

In discussing the 1844, you may want to make a comment about it being a somewhat artificial rarity due to a hoard of 600 or so in California.

By the way, since the comments are positive, so far, I will go on record as saying I did NOT write it.

Hi Mark. Nice article. It didn't mention the sometimes unnoticed rarities in the Seated Diime Series, for example, the 1861-S (pcgs pop 13 all grades), the 1862-S (pcgs pop 10 all grades), 1863-S (pcgs pop 10), 1865-S (pcgs pop of 11 all grades), the 1867-S (pcgs pop of 12 all grades), and others. Crackouts and crossover further skew the LOW populations on these low pop Seated Dimes (NGC pops are low too).

In my view, the above dates (and others) are the ones that matter FIRST in the Seated Dime Series (especially if someone is interested in obtaining the Key Dates or building a set). matteproof
