My type set of double dimes. I plan on replacing the reverse example with an 1876 which will also complete the set of circulation strike double dimes. The PCGS 1875-S did not photograph well no matter how I tried to capture the mint luster it has. Obverse example: 1875 PCGS AU-55 CAC (BF-1)   Reverse example: 1875-S PCGS AU-55 (BF-16)   Branch Mints: Carson City Mint example 1875-CC PCGS AU-55 CAC (BF-2)   San Francisco Mint example 1875-S NGC AU-58 (BF-2)   In case anyone is wondering if I have a dime type set I need only one to complete it, an 1860-61 Type I obverse. I also have in progress the quarters, halves and dollars, both Liberty Seated and Trade. |

Way to go on putting an AU 20 cent type set together.
Did you id the varieties yourself? I have 3 1875-S coins but haven't taken the time to id them.

WOW! Those are sweet..Dont see many around these parts. I have three. Best one is NGC AU details, cleaned. Old time collectors must have made it a practice to clean them, see a few cleaned ones at auctions, people bid them up, too.

MeadowviewCollector I used this web site to ID the varieties http://www.doubledimes.com/Collecting.htmlscopru my avatar is an M1937 pattern officer's EGA for the barracks cap made by Hilborn-Hamburger in sterling and gold. I used that instead of my enlisted man's EGA solely because it is an awesome device. Thanks to all who posted their nice comments. The two 1875-S pieces have been sent to CAC and I expect, hope, the AU-58 will get a green sticker but, I am not too sure about the AU 55. If either or both do not then whichever does not or both do not get a green bean they will be replaced with ones that have a green bean. |
