<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3561360, member: 8959&quot;]Here is a nice 1849-O seated dime I picked up a few weeks ago.</p><p>It is special due to the fact it is a Large Mintmark variety (scarcer than the small mintmark &#039;49-O), and the fact that the head and devices on the top of the obverse are relatively well struck.</p><p>Note how the &quot;O&quot; is obliquely struck, i.e, uneven in height from top to bottom - this is a reflection that the dies were (very possibly) not exactly parallel resulting in a weakly struck obverse at the corresponding area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many 49&#039;-O&#039;s large mintmark dimes are weakly struck in those areas.</p><p>A scarce coin at a very good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]946869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]946870[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
