Liberty Seated Double Dimes - Proof

The Double Dime (or twenty-cent piece) was the shortest denomination struck for circulation in U.S. History. Easily confused for a Liberty Seated Quarter, the Double Dime was only issued for commerce in 1875 and 1876. After the coin was dropped for circulation issue, it was struck in proof format in 1877 and 1878 for collectors. Normally collected as a type coin (usually 1875-S), there are several ways a collector may pursue the series.

Proofs -- some collectors choose to collect the four regular issue proofs from 1875 through 1878. This is straightforward to accomplish, and most of these will be readily available at auction.

Rating: The weighted average of all coin grades (i.e. aggregated sum of each coin grade + CAC premium multiplied by its rarity factor divided by the sum of all rarity factors). Missing coins are included and assigned a grade of 0. This metric is the basis for order rank.

Complete: The number of coin entries divided by the total number of coins in the Set.

Weighted Grade: The weighted average of all coin grades (see calculation above), but excluding any missing coins.

%: The ratio of coins certified by CAC (either green or gold sticker). Calculated as the number of CAC coins divided by the total number of entered coins.

Rarity Factor: The rarity assessment for each date/variety uses the Sheldon scale of R1 through R8 with a R1 weight being the most common while an R8 weight being the most difficult to locate. Rarity estimates are by John Frost.
