Seated Dimes
1840 10C No Drapery, F-103, R.3, MS64 NGC. CAC. Heavy vertical die lines connecting Liberty's chin and shoulder earn this variety the "Chin Whiskers" nickname. Examples are moderately scarce, particularly in high grade. Lemon-yellow, pistachio-green, blue, and golden hues adorn each side. A few scattered abrasions do not detract. The left-hand obverse stars show minor strike weakness, and there are a couple of old pinscratches on the reverse, one through the U in UNITED and the other below OF next to the wreath.
