MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 7:16 pm I wanted to ask those members who are knowledgeable on Seated dime varieties if they think this dime is an F-103a. The ebay photos were small and I used the zoom feature on my browser to make them larger. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1837-Small-...em2583940436 Here's the online reference book for this variety: http://seateddimevarieties.com/date...103apage.htm Am I seeing things? -MV Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 02/22/2014 11:27 pm The reverse die crack looks a whole lot like the F103a, can't say for sure about the obverse "7" points between two denticles. The No Stars variety has been on my list for quite a while. That's a nice one too! PCGS does not recognize the variety, and the latest sales for 1837 No Stars, Small date, VF35 have been $384 and $441 through Heritage (which includes buyer fees).

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 11:51 am Thanks for the replies. I wanted to see if I was on the right track. Like I've said before, I am a newbie at identifying die varieties, but I am eager to learn. I put it on my watch list for now. I don't think my mom would appreciate me spending that much money right now. If a community member wants to snap it up then by all means go for it -MV Report this Post to the Staff
