Here's the story. http://www.coinweek.com/auctions-ne...ted-variety/ Here's a story about the coin from 2008 http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewart...DArticle=987 It received a holder update and is now up for auction at Heritage. http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...5574&x=0&y=0 The internet bidding is about to end but the live auction will take place in Chicago tomorrow during floor session # 5 I wish I had the money to bid.

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 04/23/2014 10:56 pm New England is fortunate to have Gerry Fortin. I have met him twice and he is my go to guy for Seated dimes. At one NH Coin Expo there was a line-up of Seated dimes that took up two full tables. Both a proof collection and a regular strike collection; both top rated. I only wish that I could comprehend what a once in a lifetime opportunity was in front of me. I was helping to staff the Barber table, BCCS, and spent a lot of time next to these coins. If you cannot collect this 1891-O Proof Dime, then by all means archive the photos and the write ups for further research down the line. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 09:24 am I'm left wondering which Trade dollars are now far scarcer than thought due to the 3 million melted for new coinage, as mentioned in the first article. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 2:25 pm The photography difference between article one and the HA listing are incredible. Amazing coin. Just a touch too rich for my current blood but best of luck to the eventual winner. I wonder if they'll resale at what point in time and make a profit. Report this Post to the Staff
