Owner's Description

It is a good thing that the eye appeal of this coin is as strong as it is, as I spent a long time trying to decide between just a few varieties as to the correct identification. Finally I concluded the coin is a F-107, double die obverse. The doubling lines on the lower left of the shield illustrated in Fortin are there, as is the doubling of star 2. The date position is correct. And finally and most conclusively, the clashing on the reverse most noticeably to the right of the M in DIME conclusively establishes this as reverse G. Another common date made interesting by the different die possibilties. Not enough can be said about the gorgeous, unblemished appearance of the coin. Bought from a Superior auction, September 2003, lot 1485.
