angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 02/29/2016 10:15 pm Here is another Seated Liberty dime I dug up recently. This one, unlike the other 1875-S I posted recently, has what I believe may be a filled micro S mintmark. I also noticed that it has die cracks on the reverse in a few areas. I have yet to determine if it is a known variety. Report this Post to the Staff

Thankfully most of the silver coins I have found while metal detecting over the years have held up well though buried in the ground for decades. Report this Post to the Staff

We just received another 4" of snow this AM so I'm still waiting to get out hunting again. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 03/01/2016 12:29 pm Since you have the dime in hand see if you can match up the diagnostics, there are only 6 varieties for the 1875-S Micro S. http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/..._varpage.htm Click on the Var# to see images for that particular variety. I have an idea of which variety # yours is however, I want to give you and others a chance to try your hand at attributing first. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

Hopefully it will melt fast enough. It's been mild here and no snow remains on the ground. I wish I could get out more often to swing the coil, but work gets in the way.

It matches Micro S - Variety 102a. The die cracks on the obverse on my coin are not as discernible due to wear, but they are there. Thank you for including that page! Report this Post to the Staff

The curved crack at the top of the wreath connecting the wheat kernels and the curved one under the wheat leaf on the right wreath above the ear of corn fit the bill. Congrats. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
