wild_catt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/01/2006 9:52 pm Today I found a coin that has a 6 above and under the 6 on a Seated Liberty dime. I cannot find anything on it. Can someone here steer me towards any info on this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

wild_catt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/01/2006 9:57 pm The problem is that I can't scan fine enough to see the doubled date. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/01/2006 10:05 pm Hi wild_catt Is your dime a large O ? There is a doubled date listed in Breens for the 1856-O large O variety . Breens # 3297 listed as scarce at the time this info was published. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
wild_catt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/01/2006 10:07 pm I am unsure how to tell if it is a large O or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/01/2006 10:18 pm Hi wild_catt Take a good pic of the whole reverse of the coin, and while your taking pics one of the obverse would be cool too !! Dont worry about trying to show the doubling, just take the best pic that you can of the whole coin. We will see if we can help you determine if its the large O .

wild_catt New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/04/2006 8:12 pm Thanks for looking guys. I did find this web page http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/..._pricing.htm You would think that scarce means real valuable but I guess not at $45 in fine. I guess this one won't pay off my house ;-) Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 09/04/2006 8:31 pm I can see the pic, but in its enlarged version it is extremely pixelated, and to small to tell in the normal view. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 09/05/2006 2:19 pm You can see it under as well as above? It appears just an RPD, listed in the new CherryPickers Guide. FS-10-1856o-2301, Greer-101, it says it is paired with a large O mintmark. Can you also see anything above the 5? Pricing shows $25 in VG vs. $10 normal, $50 in F vs. $12, $75 in VF vs. $23 in the Cherrypickers Pricing. So approximately 3 times the normal value. Scarce is actually meant as more of a "common-rare" The scale is R-1 Common R-2 not so common R-3 Scarce R-4 Very scarce (76-200 known) R5 Rare (31-75 known) R6 Very Rare (13-30 known) R-7 Extremely Rare (4-12 known) R-8 Unique (1-3 known) Edited by jdheyne 09/05/2006 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
