<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3535146, member: 8959&quot;]I have been expanding my early dime collection lately by adding some seated dimes and focusing on the early dates. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Seated Dime Type which succeeded the Capped Busts was first introduced in 1837. </p><p>Two distinct varieties were minted at Philadelphia that year: small dates and large dates. The large date variety is slightly more plentiful than the small date.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Red Book states that 1837 being the first year, many were saved and consequently many can be found today in higher grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently added the Large Date type to my collection. The coin is lightly toned, possibly dipped and some marks present, but it shows quite a bit of lustre as well. </p><p>The 1837 small date which I have had for a while is colourfully toned, specially the reverse. For once I was able to capture the colours in this new set of pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me hear what you guys think, thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]939617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]939618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]939619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]939620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
