<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 748505, member: 8959&quot;]As you guys have pointed out, the 1846 10C is FAR scarcer than the dime of 1844.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a matter of fact there are 24 1844&#039;s available in Ebay right now, and NO 1846&#039;s. You can hardly call that a scarce date. Just a heavily hyped date, and heavely hoarded as well - nice stories to account for its supposed scarcity abound (Little Orphan Annie) for example. </p><p>Heritage has been trying to disperse a hoard of approx. 650 examples of the 1844 for about a year now. I would not be surprised if in excess of 1000-1300 specimens exist. The price guides do not reflect this reality at all, at least until the very high grades &gt; AU50. This is surprising.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the choice is clear: if you are looking for the scarcer of the two, definitely the 1846.</p><p>In fact, the 1846 10C is supposed to rank high among the top 25-30 scarcest seated liberty dates (10C, 25C and 50C included).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
