<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drbrummer, post: 3183370, member: 76441&quot;]Yes it is a testament to the variety work done by a few specialists that makes identifying coins by obverse (or reverse) alone possible. I have also seen an 1856(o) love token that was the doubled date variety and identifiable in a similar way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another fun one:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1864-90-Silver-Seated-Dime-XF-Obverse-Pattern-Made-On-Reverse/392119378313?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1864-90-Silver-Seated-Dime-XF-Obverse-Pattern-Made-On-Reverse/392119378313?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1864-90-Silver-Seated-Dime-XF-Obverse-Pattern-Made-On-Reverse/392119378313?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me if this coin was minted on the West or East coast? I&#039;m neither the seller nor a buyer but attribution was a fun exercise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one more:</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1842-O-Seated-Liberty-Dime-Countermarked-S-Harper-RARE-Please-read-Writeup/382556231909?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1842-O-Seated-Liberty-Dime-Countermarked-S-Harper-RARE-Please-read-Writeup/382556231909?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1842-O-Seated-Liberty-Dime-Countermarked-S-Harper-RARE-Please-read-Writeup/382556231909?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is a R5 variety with an obverse cud that just barely remains visible through the counterstamp. The small &#039;o&#039; mintmark on the reverse helps to identify it but does not guarantee the cud to be present.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
