Okay Dimeman.  I'll meet you halfway and call it an early nickel.  😉

That it is. A pretty one too!

[I don't care if Uncle VKurtB sees this or not, but I love the rich gold and iridescent blue toning on that well-preserved dime!]

Pretty coin, but it is a Baby Dime.......not a Dime.

I just got this Baby Dime for my 7070 Variety Type Set......

Choose "Education and Resources", Click on "Online References," and the Steve Crane Reference Collection is the first listing. Lots of pictures.

Not much help on the Steve Crane Collection. He didn't even show the MPD that is in the CPG.

...to partially answer ur inquiry....yes almost anything is possible in the various die pairings of all of the liberty seated series, the half dime series is replete with literally dozens of die pairings especially in the more common n high mintage years, 1853 is one of those years...ur obverse die could easily have been paired with several diff reverse dies n the reverse could have been paired with several diff obverse dies...there r several excellent resources for ur inquiry...u mite choose to visit the LSCC web site n explore the various links to multiple half dime resources including the e-Golbrecht journal archive links...one point I mite make is although ur photo isn't exactly clear the reverse die break u mention may not be a die break, its possible its the raised impression created by classed dies which gives the reverses the appearances of die breaks when in fact they r clash marks, the mark on ur coin is in the correct position for this to be the case...half dimes r very noticeable due to their small sizes to clashed die impressions...the neuman portal also has numerous photos of half dime pairings...ur specific coin looks very similar to one of the reference coins in the crain collection n could be the same coin...its been a few decades since I last assembled my three sets of half dimes, n my reference notes r not readily available, im sorry I cant give u a more exact answer to ur specific die pairing but my personal resources r not at hand but the LSCC site will get u there...

Thanks for the info. Do you have a link to the LSCC website?

I just purchased this pretty little Baby Dime for my 7070 Type Set. I am trying to use as many Variety coins as I can. What first brought my attention to this coin is the die crack on reverse from A in STATES to and thru OF. Then I noticed that the MPD 301 has the same D/C. So I looked in the CPG to check the MPD. It looks to me that the misplaced digits in the 301 are in a different location than on mine. Is it possible that another MPD would have the same reverse? Not being a Half Dime collector I am not that familiar with the different varieties. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached a pic of the coin with a blow-up of the area in question.

My new 1857-O Seated Dime. Got this for a steal. Also my first Proof Morgan.

Pretty Morgan........But that is just a Baby Dime.

It is uploaded and stored here.  Below there are options (see I just attached this photo of the options to attach photos):

You can drag and drop or click on "choose files" to select from your computer.  Hope this helps.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that is what I did, but will try again later tonight.

When you put a pic in a post here is it like PCGS where the pic is actually stored here or is it like CoinTalk where you have to put it somewhere else and link to it?

I don't know what is going on. I loaded it to the thread and it shows on my PC, but nowhere else??

Is everyone seeing the pic of my 1803 Dime. I see it on my Desk Computer, but on my Laptop it does not show....only a failed link.

Picked up this 1803 Dime only AG3, but is JR4 R5. Nice for grade!

All 3 of my 1905-S Dimes are Obv-2 Rev-3. My eyes already hurt.

Skip you ole dog......I see you are still mess'in with folks.

I thought this was very interesting and informative ........ of course Barber Dimes are one of my favorite series and I am a Variety Nut.... as you can see by my Barber Dimes Complete Variety Set on PCGS and my Showcase of other Varieties not in the PCGS Sets which is also on PCGS Registry. I am always lookingfor RPD's & RPM's. I was aware of these design changes, but have never seen enough info to clearly tell the difference until this thread. Well done! I will have to check and see which varieties I have and then start looking for the ones I don't have.

Hi Larry! My guess by pic only is AU55. Nice coin and much better date.

I believe it is a JR-7. I will be sending it in if not more than to give it some extra protection. I am pretty new to collecting and appreciate everyone's help. 

You are correct. It is a JR7 which is a R2. I personally think it will grade. Good luck on your submission.

Dang typos. Thank you. Would you be worried about the scratches on the right side of the obverse?

To me that should not keep it from grading. Old Bust coins are allowed some imperfections. Like Mark said though......it is a slight distraction. I will look it up and see what JR # it is.

Looks very nice. My guess from pic would be 40-50. Do you collect by JR Number?
