 Choice $350 New January 2! Steely Frosted Luster, Choice Original, Web-Book Plate Coin, Gerry Fortin Reference Collection. The 1871 Philadelphia Seated dime mintage amounted to 907,710 strikes from 14 unique die pairings. This translate into roughly 65,000 coins per die pairing, a number consistent with the 1870 issue. The F-114 die pairing can be identified by a weak date punch with the distance between the 1 and 8 digits being larger than other obverse date varieties. This example is the F-114 plate coin within The Definitive Resource for Liberty Seate Dime Variety Collectors online reference and presents steely reflectance under a bright light. Speckled gold toning is noted on both sides. There is not sign of rub though faint chatter is noted in the obverse fields. Purchase January 2007 and the final die pair listing for the 1871 date.
