I use several sites to identify varieties, but I have come upon a dime that I cannot associate with an existing variety. Description; The medium size 10C has wider spacing between the 1 and 0, and between the C and period, which is under the 3rd arrow, at about the center. The period placement seems to match that of a large 10C placement. Perhaps the medium 10C letters were struck using a large 10C letter layout? Attached are a medium 10C example, a large 10C example and the dime in question. Any assistance in where to find additional variety information or information about this seeming variety would be greatly appreciated!    |

 to CCF! There are several varieties of the medium 10C bust dime with slightly different positions of the letters and numbers depending on the die used. If you post full coin photos of the obverse and reverse, it would help to determine the exact die pair of your dime. |

will post additional photos of the dime in question when I receive it. I purchased it yesterday. I have reviewed all of the possible varities listed in NGC coin varities and there are no variations in the 10C positioning nor could I find any other source indicating 10C positioning varieties.. Apparently, there is a book with extensive documentation of capped bust dimes, but is difficult to find and very expensive, if found. I would believe that this is a key component of a particular variety. Also, I had researched the possibilty of thi being counterfeit, but found no documentation.   Edited by Dprince1138

Yours looks like a JR-6. Here's an example of JR-6 from the Heritage archives, as well as a comparison of the 10C on the reverse.   |

Yes, the spacing between the 1 and 0 are similar, but not the dot placement. In an attempt to provide more clarity, I drew a line from the dot to the points of the last arrow. The dot is higher in relation to the curl of the C and the angle is steeper to the arrow. As mentioned, the dot seems to be in the same location as the dot for the large 10C   |

You're right, if that truly is the dot and not some minor surface damage, the position is unusual. It doesn't really look like the right place for a large 10C either. Let us know when you receive the coin and can inspect it in hand. I'm still leaning towards a JR-6 with an artifact mimicking the dot.
