Obverse Diagnostic Point

Comments: In his Guide Book to Liberty Seated Dimes, Greer indicates that two examples of Variety 101a have been seen with a large depression at the lower left of the shield.

Regardless of the large depression, the plate coin illustrates the typical strike and head weakness to be expected for Variety 101 examples.
