My-Key-Date-Scrap-Bin-Find!

Years of buying almost-dateless George V Dimes has paid off! Found this one at my LCS with a large lot of other George V Dimes. Date can't be seen in the pics but in hand you can see the bottom curve of the 3 and the 19.

Nice cherrypick!
By the way, I recommend getting a what's called a "flat clinch stapler."

Thanks MatteProof. What's the difference between that and a regular stapler, although mine is a high-performance industrial stapler, I just use regular staples.

A flat clinch stapler will leave the staple flat, not bulging out unlike regular staplers. It's better because 2x2s stack better and it fits better in an album.

Nice find! I use needle nose pliers to flatten out my staples.

Thanks to all.
Now I was wondering, because I see a bunch of these lying around sometimes, is there a way to pick out a Broad-Leaves Variety on a dateless coin? I mean, broad leaves were only minted 1909-1913, and based on the ruler you can rule out 1909 and 1910. Then because 1911 was the "godless year" you can rule out a 1911 if there is not "Dei Gratia on the obverse". But is there a way to differentiate between a 1912 and a 1913?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
