| Welcome
to the definitive resource for Liberty Seated Dime variety collectors.
After collecting and
researching the Seated Dime series for over twenty years, I'm happy
to present the 3rd reference book to the numismatic community. Through
prior hardbound books, both Kamal Ahwash and Brian Greer advanced
the knowledge and collector base for Liberty Seated Dimes. I've
decided to take a different approach with the 3rd book given the
advancements in computer and internet technology. Contained within
the web-book is wealth of new information about Seated Dime die
varieties and die states in a format that organizes the previous
die varieties defined by Ahwash and Greer. There is an update to
historical Coin World pricing trends, and great Seated Dime photography.
Interested numismatists and casual browers will enjoy access to
a vast Liberty Seated Dime die variety collection formed with contributions
from many collectors of the series.
All content
is fully accessible without login or passwords. You are free to
link to any of the web-book content for numismatic purposes, but
please remember all information is copyrighted and must be properly
referenced as to the source.
Have
fun and enjoy this Seated Dime ride… Gerry Fortin
