I've already spoken to Gerry Fortin and he is reviewing pictures I am providing to attribute or tell me I am seeing things.

I believe this dime is the scarce O9 Obverse with some serious doubling along the entire legend and date. I'm also providing the reverse diagnostics with the die cracks running out of the bow ends into the maple leaves.

Cherry picked off the bay for dirt cheap.

Thoughts?

Your dime is F-105 and I don't have an example in my personal collection; therefore used an image of the Ahwash plate coin. Diagnosing your dime as F-105 is easy. First the date position is DR -1R and it slopes down sharply. Second, the reverse die cracks match that of F-105 images from Ahwash encyclopedia.

The doubling on UNITED is not significant as is typically referred to as Longacre's doubling.


I'm still super pleased. I mean I got a Longacre. Who else has a longacre?

Oh Yeah...
