Comments: Obverse 25 is easily identified by a date punch that sharply slopes downward. How this obverse die could have escape detection for many years is unknown. There are no other significant obverse diagnostics.

Reverse X is another new reverse discovery with a CC mintmark that is positioned slightly left and low and closely resembles that of Reverse W. The I and E in DIME are obviously doubled.

This is another 1876-CC variety discovered by Liz Coggan at Boston's JJ Teaparty. Liz noted a strong downward date slope on an 1876-CC dime and placed the plate coin aside for my review and purchase at the 2009 FUN show.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, PCGS EF 40
