for me the spacing of the "E" in ONE to the wheat grains is the least accurate way of telling type 1 from type 2, someone else may see it as the easiest, anyway the split ribbon on the left, is the easiest, IMHO, second being the tip of the maple leaf behind the "D" in DIME. again, I wouldnt expect it to be worth a premium even if it was a type I. anyone know what a beat up 1841 dime is worth ?

Sounds like a trick question! Price guides show an ordinary 1841-O dime to be worth around $20 in VG grade. There is a "large O" variety with value over $600 in the same grade. The mintmark on your coin doesn't look "large" to me but perhaps it is nevertheless the scarce variety.

Hey, I'm gonna start a new thread on Seated dimes so we don't keep horning in on Hemisboats' topic!

jaobler, the large o 1841-o was minted from a left over 1840-o reverse die, it is quite rare...but not as rare as the 1841-o small o dime with the 1840-o reverse.
