Obverse Diagnostic Point(s))

        

Comments: The date punch on Obverse 23 is the furthest left of all known 1889 obverse dies with a Denticle Ruler measurement of DR -1C. There are additional diagnostics at the shield's scroll end. A die line is clearly visible within the scroll end. A faint curved loop typical of a misplaced digit can also be seen to the right of the scroll end.

Reverse X is perfect. This dime was attributed by the author during an eBay sale.
