1839-O Seated Liberty Dime For Grading And Comments

I tracked down several other 106-a examples and none of them were even close to this late a die state. I was hoping to get the dealer down a bit more, but he was pretty solid after his first counter offer. Just too neat a variety to pass up.

crazy rev die breaks. its amazing that the die still held up. talk about getting every single press out of it they could

VF35 details. I don't think the cleaning will give it a pass

I see you bought it from Rick Snow. That's a good sign. He has an eagle eye!

Coin arrived today. Several of you are aware that I got this from Rick Snow at Eagle Eye Rare Coins. Coin was perhaps a little nicer than the pictures, although my pictures turned out a little blue for some reason. Pretty solid VF35, which is what Rick graded it. Might squeeze EF40 on a good day, but the weak strike on the shield probably holds it back. If it was cleaned, it was a long, long time ago. I notice that Rick identifies cleaned coins as such on his web site - this coin was not identified that way. I'm satisfied with the coin at the price I paid. Just a stunning cobweb die break on the reverse. Thoughts?

Wonderful pickup! Congrats!

It's VF+ and would probably straight grade because a lot of patina remains.

I iike it, agree it might make 40.

Reverse of that FEC would probably details it at NGC too.
