I just added a difficult variety to my Seated Dime Top 100 Set!

This is a very hard to find variety and is rated R5 by Fortin. The PUP's are the lines thru the (O)ne (D)ime. You can view the Set by clicking on the link in my sigline. Thanks for looking and comments welcome. :)

    Very nice coin!

    Here is the perfect example why to be a variety hunter. Let's see, which would I rather find? A coin that is worth only what the price guide states or a coin that is worth 10 TIMES that? :)

    Actually, Jon did not cherry pick this coin.
    He bought it from Gerry Fortin, for 10x the price of a normal 1872 at this grade.
    This can be seen by looking at Gerry's Sales Archive - he is very transparent about what coins have sold for.

    Yes, I just purchased a 9 coin group from Gerry. I do have about 10 Dimes I cherrypicked, but some need graded and all need attributed.

    Nice dime Jon...Are the lines due to a die clash that did not get polished out? Cheers, RickO

    The die was actually hubbed twice with a 175 degree rotation between for the DDR plus there is clashing at striking for this variety. It's a pretty neat variety.

    I like this variety too. But please don't rely on the Rarity #'s, they are all wrong since nobody is really guiding the ship.
    In other words there are always any more out there that are not included int he R#'s.

    I have to disagree here. The R numbers are given by Gerry himself and nobody knows more about or has seen as many Seated Dimes as him.
