  Am I correct in thinking that the bottom coin is an earlier die state of the two circ coins above it (the stiking order would be third - first - second)?

  I love the die stage progression of that seated dime
  
  I don't think I've ever seen an illustration like this for a seated series.
  Thank you

  I don't think so Sean, the bottom coin has a die break centered at 3 O'clock that the others don't have as a latter die state.

  The bottom coin is from a different die which is more dramatic in person, it remained unique for several years until a second surfaced.
  
  The first 2 are an early and final state. They are very rare and bring a strong premium.
  
  I am still looking for an even earlier state where there is a light crack forming.
  
  While the top coin is a listed variety, the other 2 are unlisted so start looking!
