1847 Dime F-101 For Your Consideration

Years ago now, when I put together a 7070 set, I actually sought out coins like this that had some anomaly. The 1847 dime is cool and reminds me of the 1854 Half Dime I had in the 7070 set. Akin to the 1847, that date was likewise embedded. Then too, I had a few coins with interesting die cracks, overdates, etc. I aimed at VF and better, so the set was a constant work in progress ... fun to assemble. Coins like the 1847 add spice to a set, regardless of the grade.

These pictures definitely under exaggerate the polishing, and the coin is worn enough that it doesn't fit snugly in the hole. Even when I do replace it, though, I'll keep it.
