    I paid $10 for this one on eBay recently. Based on the position of the date and what little remains of the reverse, the remaining devices are consistent with the "Closed Buds" transitional reverse.

    It looks like one of Mike's coins (mikesmountainvalues) I love his stuff but it is generally out of my price range. Did I get it right?

    €8.00 conversion = $8.48 plus €6.00 split between 5 coins won is $1.27 shipping.
    So $9.75 for this dime. Oh I forgot the tax! IMG_0682.JPG IMG_0683.JPG

    While yours is definitely nicer than mine, I believe that I have won the 'Cheapest seated liberty dime' challenge.
    Sellers pics, they accepted my offer of $3 with free shipping:

    Will be interesting to see how it looks in hand, will post pics once it arrives.

    Looks like... 1828 with a mint mark? ;)

    EDIT: I WAS WRONG--, but I'm not 100% on the mintmark possibility, will see what that looks like in person once it arrives, and give y'all an update.
    Ironic thing is that the seller claims it is an 1873-P, but it's pretty obvious that it is in fact an 1828

    I was wrong lol

    Again, hard to tell due to the sellers TERRIBLE photos. Prob why everyone else was scared to make an offer on it.

    Thing is, there were no seated-liberty coins struck in 1828. The series didn't start until 1838.

    Since the third digit can't be a 2, it's probably a 7, and the last looks more like a 3 than an 8. Better lighting will show whether there's a mintmark or not. The seller's probably telling the truth, though.

    Interesting.... shows what I know about seated liberty dimes lol..
    I bought it mostly for the silver content- I will learn more about these soon, but my main focus is IHP

    WOW! Nice find, I love a good IHP variety. Never have owned one of these myself, but will keep an eye out for it.
    If you'd give your example an acetone dip, it would be an even nicer example. Would remove a lot of that gunk around the lettering. ;)
