Obverse 6                                             Reverse H

Comments: Several 1845 proof seated dime references are available to the author. The first being the Stack's Lovejoy Sale, October 16, 1990. In that sale, lot 230 was an NGC PF64 example of an 1845 Seated dime. The date position is similar to Obverse 5, but with less downward slope. Stack's describes the piece as a doubled date. The second example is the Eliasberg specimen. Bowers and Merena state that the 8 and 4 digits are heavily doubled punched with die chips around Stars 1-6 and Stars 12-13. The reverse die exhibits a die line through STA(TE)S continuing to rim above STATE(S). Breen also lists an 1845 proof dime as #3248. He indicates that the 45 digits are repunched with 7 examples known.
