Comments: Numerous obverse and reverse die marriages have been identified for dies used to strike the Carson City 
In Wreath variety. Additional obverse die pairings between In Wreath and Below Wreath reverse dies will be reported 
in the Below Wreath chapter.  Strike weakness is common for the head area and near the reverse rims. Rim cuds are 
encountered for both In Wreath and Below Wreath dimes. Serious assessment of the rarities of the individual In Wreath 
varieties is a task left to another Seated dime specialist.  I have labeled most varieties as R3 until more rarity 
analysis is performed.
