Consistent, original gunmetal grey surfaces probably made straight grade certification a slam dunk for this Type 2 Stars No Drapery Seated Dime.  Stars are nicely formed, denticles also nice but not fully complete. The reverse ribbon and agricultural wreath is strong. The Type 2 variety was a short lived 3 year issue. This example would make a good representative for a F-VF type or date set. Original .

New 8/6 This lovely Seated 1850 dime was deemed as Details by the TPG but quite frankly I'm not seeing it. No hairlines observed on either the obverse or reverse, just light blemished consistent with an AU.  Good underlying luster. The obverse is bluish golden toned, the reverse more bluish grey.  If I assigned a numeric grade it would be conservatively be AU53. Possibly worthy of a re-submission attempt. Details

This original greyish brown toned Seated Dime also shows just a bit of underlying mint luster to add to the overall eye appeal. Well struck in the head area which is not always the case for this issue. The LIBERTY and shield are full. The reverse wreath and bow also bold. From a mintage of 1,026,500 and tougher than the average Philadelphia date from this era. F-103 , R3, the obverse with high date and Open 5. The reverse with a light die line in the flash between the bow loops.  Gem

The rare Shattered Obverse variety F-104a , R4 is offered in the collectable VF30 grade. My obverse image doesn't capture how dramatic the break is. Under 10X the upper break from the rim through star 1 to the rock , and the lower break from the rim to the rock is quite dramatic. The surfaces are original and pleasing with no issues of note. Nice coin for variety specialists or collectors that would like to add a cool variety to their holdings. Attractively priced. Original .

This 1853-O seated dime is significantly rarer than its Philadelphia mint counterpart with a mintage of 1,100,000 basically 12x less. This example with light, original  golden surfaces that are minus any serious disruption and quite pleasing to the eye. The current PCGS population is 39. Original

This 1854-O seated dime displays crusty darker brown surfaces combined with good remaining design features and limited blemishes. The reverse slightly lighter in color than the obverse, quite attractive with a hint of underlying greenish hues. Stars are well formed with good head detail. Excellent choice for a VF-EF date set. PCGS pop of 27. Original

This Arrows DDO FS101, F-103 Top 100 Seated dime as listed on the PCGS label shows dramatic obverse doubling of the shield that is easily seen at the presented VG10 grade. Rarely seen and listed by Fortin as R6, the F-103 commands a significant premium.  The doubling seen within the shield is quite spectacular and a delight for variety specialists. Surfaces on both the obverse and revere are a consistent greyish brown. All letters of LIBERTY are partial or full. The reverse with weakness at D(IM)E. The outer rims are free of disruption. Original

Minor re-punching is seen under the bottom of 6.7 digits.  F-121 variety with Large knob 6. Attractive golden grey surfaces. The reverse with typically weak ONE DIME with portions of the O(N)E and D(IM)E weak or missing. PCGS has graded 14 in XF40. Choice. 

Lustrous, attractive  last year of issue Seated dime would make a nice addition for any type set. Pretty mostly silvery surfaces with plenty of golden accents and even a touch of blue near the date. Nicely struck. Choice .
