Was recently able to add this 1843-O to my small collection o seated dimes. It is an upgrade to my previous somewhat damaged example. The pictures capture well the tone and appearance of the coin. Would much appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thanks,
Nice problem free.... Ive heard that just about any MM'd half dime is a better date. Edit- Oops, i guess this isnt a half dime
This is my previous example that I am now upgrading. Nice enough but obviously lower grade and with some damage.
Nice looking coin . . . VF35 from me as well. I would have ventured XF if the residual luster was a little more apparent.
Thanks all for your comments. Happy with this coin. Took a chance with it as the seller pictures were a bit unclear, but it turned out well. I am keeping the lower grade/damaged coin as well for the moment as it cost only $170. 1843-O is a scarce coin with about 200 known.
