Seated Liberty Dime MM O Date?

Let's see there were 15 years that the US Seated Dime was struck in New Orleans . Here's one that's been around the block a few times. Any guesses as to its date? 5 different Varieties spanning from 1838-1891

Coin Forensics at it's best..... not much to work with here or is there? Any players?

the best you can do is try to see if there are any stars on the obv, to narrow it down a bit.

other than that, it's a lost cause...

 

Diameter?

 

Earl the evidence is there....you're the CSI you need to solve the date.

 

18 mm

 

Are you seeing the O below the wreath?

 

You're the CSI what are you seeing ?

 

I I have it narrowed to 1860 or 1891.

 

I am seeing the same thing you are in the images, the dia. Is 18 mm . You need to figure out what the date is.....I already know

 

That's a 31 year spread.....

 

ENHANCE

 

Seated guy here.

First of all, there is no trace of a date.

If the MM is below the wreath, there can only be two choices: 1860 (key date) and 1891. As much as I want to congratulate you and say 1860, I have to say the mintmark is too large and in the wrong position.

So 1891 it is.

 

Correct 1891 O it's the only date it possibly could be.

And actually it was an easy task...as the ribbons and the O mm were a sure give away.
