I believe they aware due to the professional photograph. Otherwise it wouldn't meet their value threshold. Also they would have autopopulated some information about the coin if they weren't going to write a description.

I know! Certainly not because I have brought it up 10 times! I have merely participated in threads that others have created on the topic. Very odd, indeed! You wouldn't know anything about participating in threads, would you?

Sounds like someone didn't want everyone to know what was on his radar! Really don't think it was off any radars you needed to worry about!

There is great potential to be a big difference between 3, 4, 5 bidders or 9, 10, 11 bidders etc.
No, this was not an item I would have been going after as soon as it was realized others knew about it as it would not be for my core collection... Like many others, I do frequently check major auctions for a lot of potential cherrypicks, including this one...just in case. For this one, I would have most likely pointed it out to a friend via PM, in case he was unaware, instead of broadcasting it to the world. That's all. I just happen to be aware of what it feels like to have the bank account hit a couple of times is all.

Oh a dime in plastic, That is what everyone keeps telling me to buy. At AU 58 what makes this one so special? (Yes Yes I know nothing about seated dimes)
<< <i>I know! Certainly not because I have brought it up 10 times! >>

Normally I would not invite PMs from a person that is quick to attack/bash/insult extremely well respected and noted numismatists when they go out of their way to help you with a question (Rick Snow for example)...or goes off to edit other noted numismatist's copyrighted works instead of linking to it (David Lange's Mercury Dime Book) ...or attacks people for not searching the archives when you yourself have been guilty of not doing this very thing...but please, go ahead, feel free to PM links to me where I have started a thread with a topic along these lines. I'm most interested to see if you can show me one example where I started the thread, let alone ten. Prove me wrong, show me TEN! If I recall, I have only participated in threads like this started by others. I'm sure you will enjoy your time searching and finding TEN examples for us.

<< <i>So how about this dime? Is it under grade? Weak strike or actual wear? why should someone own this dime? >>
Cherrypicker Guide Variety. Transitional Reverse (Large O Reverse). Worth thousands, not hundreds. It is not noted on the holder and since the auction listing is already paired up with previous auction results of the common coin, it probably was not going to be noted in the auction description either as it was initially cataloged as the common coin. That could all change now...

Heritage is definitely aware of this being the transitional reverse. If I wasn't 100% sure of that fact, I would have never posted this thread, even if I was uninterested in the coin. For one thing, they have this specific item listed as having a "3 star" value, which puts it over 5 figures.

I believe that both the large and small O closed bud varieties have an r7 rarity, at least in that grade level (Don't think I've ever seen a small o, closed buds above vf though).

tyvm
i guess one could have stated it goes without saying you were talking about the large O since that is the type that is in the op but i just find it better to verify or be specific, or even fragment the conversation into other interesting sub-parts. it seems to have partly worked too (for me anyway) since you stated you've not seen a small O CB above vf. i would suspect this to be the case based on statements made from certain people about the large vs small O CB 10c. .
<< <i>This one looks different than the OP is this one a fake or just horably cleaned ?1841-o It is a small o >>
Not fake, just horably cleaned. This is a different variety also..
The one in the Heritage auction has closed buds on the reverse. The closed buds reverses are the rare ones. The one in the ebay auction is fairly common with open buds.
