Got this from my bid board yesterday. Didn't notice the reverse rim damage until I got it home and started looking closely. Still overall AU with luster but likely details because of the rim shot. Not likely struck thru during the minting...

1911 D Barber Dime

 

Latest for me, from the bay, haven't received yet include these 4 culls for $21 - 1819 1827 1851 Not One Cent Hard Times Token US Coppers:

 

A few new raw pickups.

 

Grades came in finally from the submission received 06/29

 

Nice coins...did you think about the corrosion on the obverse of the 08-108 before sending it in?

 

North Macedonia 1 Denari
This goofy club that I’m in sends me MS coins. ... WOW.

​

Monetary “real” value <2¢ usd. Just kinda cool.

 

Beautiful and with a die crack above OF as well. I love die cracks so that makes her just about perfect.

 

Yes I knew it had it when I bought it. I just wanted it slabbed. I am fond of this design more so than any other. That's the only reason I bought that one and sent it in.

 

I thought it was a 105. The e in e pluribus is filled in at top?

 

After checking Heritage, I cannot find another example in as advanced a die state as yours, Not only is the reverse die crack strong, but a delicate die crack at the star at 1 O'clock is seen on none other I can locate.

There is either only one set of dies or varieties are not widely known outside of Proof Only JD-1. But my go to source is silent on this.

 

Says on the o108 that stars 1,7, and 8 point between segments. Star 1 points at the segment not in between. And as in my other post, my coin shows the "E" in e pluribus as being closed on top. The o 105 says in layer die states the top of the E is closed. The o 108 says nor shows nothing like that.

 

You are correct. It is 105.

I should know better.

 

The hardest thing you can do while looking at the minutia is to remember the basics. It happens to me all the time. Usually because I "see" what I expect to see rather than with an objective eye.

 

But I've been wrong and you are usually right! I just wanted to make sure I knew what it was!

 

1902 S MS 64 Morgan.
A nice new update to my Morgan collection.
This (better date) specimen is well struck, lustrous, and has some nice looking water colored Obverse rim toning. It’ll definitely work.
