Obverse 6 Reverse F
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Attributing Obverse 6 can be accomplished by locating a diagonal die scratch with a start point behind the left forearm and proceeding downward into the gown folds. The date punch position is level and well spaced between the base and lower denticles.
The devices on Reverse F are bold with the left ribbon end touching the wreath.
Special Filled Die Submission by Chris Majtyka
March 2013
During ongoing online and email discussions with Chris Majtyka, the subject of filled dies was touched upon after the author posted 1840-O F-104a filled die dime from Angelo Macero III during February 2013. Chris offered two filled die dimes for the web-book; 1862 F-106 and 1875-CC IW F-107a. Illustrated above is an F-106 dime with a major portion of reverse denomination and lower wreath devices completely eliminated by a filled die. Filled die occurences on Liberty Seated dimes are quite rare.
