Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 10:47 am I'm assuming you have the more common closed bud reverse type. Here are the large and small mintmark sizes (Images from The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seated dime Variety Collectors by Gerry Fortin Edited by Conder101 02/29/2012 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

murty Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 1:11 pm How can one distinguish closed bud versus open bud... Thank You Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 12:42 pm One the closed buds the buds are longer and oval, on the open buds they are round and the ends are split open. Also look at the leaf cluster by the U. If the outermost leaf is leaf 1 the on the Closed bud the point of leaf 2 is left of center of the U. On the open bud the point of leaf 2 is below the right edge of the U. (This is if viewed with the you in the upright position. And I erred badly in my first post. The CLOSED bud varieties are the rare ones. I called them the common variety in my first post. Both of the two pictured are closed bud. This is an open bud: And to add extra confusion, there is also a medium O. So you have small, medium, and large. This is a medium O open bud.
