[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 28998, member: 1749"]I just picked up this 1855 Liberty Seated dime. It's the only Liberty Seated dime I own. It looks like it's been severely cleaned. Sandpaper may have even been used near the date! It was pretty cheap and I bought it because of the errors. It looks like it was struck slightly off center. Less rim on the lower obverse than the top. The reverse is clashed. The outline of Liberty's body can be seen on the right side of the reverse. There is a huge die crack on the reverse... running from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock (from the M in AMERICA to the N in UNITED). Part of the E in ONE is missing. Lots of extra silver from the crack. Several letters on the reverse are doubled near the outside rim (TES OF AMERICA). The scans and photos aren't the best, but I'd welcome any and all opinions. I'm curious if these types of errors were common and what value it might have.[/QUOTE]
