  1. I just purchased an 1890 seated liberty dime, for which I am not able to identify the die variety. I had seen the die variety on an 1887 coin (see above). The seller simply said that there were some errors. Also, I verified that the seller had a return policy. Many sellers do not have one. Also, the line in the top photo is where I had attempted to merge two larger images that did not fit on the screen. Also, the M is probably damage. I am referring to the variety of die cracks on the left side and bottom. There seems to be a few minor cracks on the obverse.
  2. It appears that stamped versions are somewhat popular and it does not seem to impact the value too much. As for a grade for the seated liberty dime, right off hand, I would say that grade would bedone would be F+ As for a grade for the 3 cent piece, right off hand, I would say that grade would bedone would be F+ as well.

  4. Interesting. It appears that I may have identified a die variety for an 1832 capped bust dime, designation JR-4, R3. There are no specimens on ebay at this time.

  7. Also, there are a number of die varieties that are planned circulation dies, such as changing the size of a date. Generally, one date size is less common than the other. I have another junk coin with a small date, rather than a large date. Many of these sort of die changes can take place at the outset of a new series. For example, in this case, an 1837 Seated Liberty Half Dime began with a large date, but changed to a small date later in the production run. In this case, at grade AU50; Large date - $475 Small date - $490 These mid-production date size changes can vary in rarity. Also, there are various other planned circulation die changes. For example, small and large rim lettering.
  8. I had purchased a number of junk coins. I was relisting them on ebay and my protocol is to check the NGC variety documentation. I discovered that one of the junk coins was a repunched date \ weak die variety. This was on an 1873 (large 5C) capped bust half dime, designation LM-5, R1. Perhaps the seller knew of this fact, but it was not mentioned. I would believe that any additional attributes of a coin should be listed.
  9. I recall when the quarters became clad and I was wondering why someone colored the edge with a crayon. Did you verify scale calibration at 0.00?

  12. Right off hand, seems to be an impact condition. Clips are very distinct and would not include a rim..
  13. Seems to be some corrosion, but the best method to determine if there was a die variety is to check the NGC die variety plus. There is not an indication of a DD mint mark for 1929. Of course, on extremely rare instances, there could be one off errors. United States Categories | VarietyPlus® | NGC
