Comments: This date presents collectors with a double challenge. Collecting EF or better examples will require some effort but locating nice examples of Variety 102 and 104 in the upper grades may be a multiple year project. Variety 104 (Ahwash 3) is unknown to the author and may be a misplaced photograph in the Ahwash encyclopedia. The misplaced 9 obverse die is available with some searching. As a result of numerous of dies employed for a limited mintage of 430,000, dimes with late die states or significant cracking are not to be found. Value As A Date (Coin World Trends/CoinValues
