Liberty Seated Dimes – Die Varieties, 1837 - 1891

Foreword by Chris Pilliod

Introduction by Gerry Fortin

Welcome to the definitive resource for Liberty Seated Dime variety collectors.

After collecting and researching the Seated Dime series for over twenty years, I'm happy to present the 3rd reference book to the numismatic community. Through prior hardbound books, both Kam Ahwash and Brian Greer advanced the knowledge and collector base for Liberty Seated Dimes. I've decided to take a different approach with the 3rd book given the advancements in computer and internet technology. Within this web-book, you will find a wealth of new information about Seated Dime die varieties and die states in a format that organizes the previous die varieties defined by Ahwash and Greer. There is an update to historical Coin World pricing trends, and great Seated Dime photography. Members will enjoy access to a vast Liberty Seated Dime die variety collection formed with contributions from many collectors of the series.

So go ahead, please click on the Free Preview to examine the attribution tools and a sampling of the Seated Dime content. Have fun, become a member and enjoy this Seated Dime ride… Gerry Fortin

What's New?

You can enjoy free access to the Liberty Seated Dime web-book until the summer ANA by using "access@access.com" login name and "freepass" as the password. The free access is part of a strategy to promote numismatics and the education of potential collectors via the web.

A Contemporary Counterfeits update is planned after the summer ANA. Brian Greer has a group of new bogos to be added and others submissions are welcomed to enhance this section of the website.

Selective updates to the Open Registry are on line. Tim Cook continues to pursue his love of varieties in the Top 100, Ultimate and Top 25 Shattered Dies sets.

June E-Gobrecht issue is available at the LSCC link.

Estes Model Rocketry; June 13 update of Estes kit prices is online. Estes kits prices are under pressure due to strong eBay buyer who appears to be building a large collection. This is good news for those individuals who are disposing their collections.
