Liberty Seated Coins from 1837-1891
NEW: seated dime reverse types Research on Rotated Reverses The Really Rare Liberty Seated Dime Varieties
A bit on seated dimes. They were first minted in 1837 without stars on the obverse. These were added in 1838. The drapery was added in 1841. One of the great rare seated dimes is the 1841 O with the 1840 reverse. This is know as the closed bud variety. There are many key coins to this series but few would argue that the 1874 cc is the key date to the seated dime series. About 100 exist in all graded and locating a problem free example will be a great challenge. A heavily worn example in the lowest of grades may bring over $5000 at auction. This is well above the "book" value. Seated dimes are a great series and a complete basic set by date and mint will take many years of hard work to complete. I have some new coin which are currently unknown that I will be posting soon. I would encourage you to check out the seated boards if you have an interest in seated coinage

I am currently actively seeking to buy all seated dimes with rotated reverses, cuds, major die breaks, and other odd and unusual pieces. I do from time to time offer some of my duplicates and upgrades for sale. While I am certainly not a dealer nor do I wish to be in the liberty seated series I am very active and therefore frequently upgrading points in my collection.
I have added a new site called Seated dime which has a few few double for sale
