the bonus fun is the die cracks that this one has. I have bounced against all known references and even conversed with the leading expert and we appear to have another new variety. this coin will be sent off for in-hand observation and once the new die marriage is recorded, I will bump this when that time comes and share links to online material. in the meantime, what do you think ANACS called it?  here are the shots with the die cracks     |

AU58 or MS62......I see a rim ding on Liberties arm, I'm going to have to go with AU58. Awesome coin and awesome die cracks. Congrats on your find!

I would have to say AU-58 since I see what looks like rub over Liberty's breast, thigh, and head, plus light friction and some hairlines in the obverse fields. Nice look, no serious marks, strong luster, good type coin!

AU55 that scratch or dig on Liberty's arm is why I'm keeping the grade lower than 58.

Jaobler, Sup, EF and Double - NICE CALL! Unfortunately for her, she was in the middle of the bank bag and had the stuffing knocked out of her...the mark on the arm is a bag hit for sure... still blast white is alright!   |

It's official. This coin was sent to the leading variety expert and has been identified as an A-1/F-101a in that die variety's earliest known state. The previous A-1/F-101a discovery, and the one most commonly found, is a later state die where the erosion and cracks are more spread out. This coin was designated as the new plate coin for the variety yesterday and has been posted in the reference book. http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/...101apage.htmVery exciting to find a newly discovered variety. Thanks for looking, enjoy  |
