A better date in the Seated Dime series and challenging to locate in grades of EF or higher. The Large O has historically been more available than the Medium O, which is rare in EF or better. However a significant number of Medium O dimes have surfaced recently.
Six different obverse and reverse dies have been identified for 1856 New Orleans coinage.
