MintErrors, thank you - and fascinating information. I'll definitely have to put his book (or ebook) on my wishlist.

I was also curious about...

Picked up my first proof IHC recently and it looks like a minor RPD, though in general I'm finding minimal variety info on these. With a relatively low...

Looks like a '60-'91 Seated Dime (?). A quick scan through NGC's Variety Plus across those years shows no obvious noted extra leaf variety but hard to...

Thanks all for the confirmation. The doubling was a new phenomenon (to me) and provided some good education this morning. I'm loving discovering more...

I think this 1864 L is a RPD (18/18 FS-2304) with Longacre doubling (?) and both obv & rev die clash. Appreciate any confirmation and/or redirection...

Tried to get a closer image with different lighting of the MM and 'RIB', which really pushes the minimum focal length of the lens in my setup, but hopefully...

Thank you for the additional references. I have Breen's encyclopedia - which presents a wonderful history of the trade dollar but little variety information,...

[foxpigsquid]

Appreciate all your help - I've learned a lot. May try to contact him and others on the other forum. The trade dollar variety expertise flowing in that...

Amazing find with that thread - thank you! That lead me to John's book, the last 5 pages of which contain detailed images of 18.1, 18.2 & 18.3. I'll...

[foxpigsquid]

The CoinFacts site lists the additional sub-varieties, all of which have active links, but neither the 18.2 or 18.3 pages have images, additional info...

Have had this trade dollar for years (PCGS slabbed but not variety attributed) and just realized it's likely a DDR FS-801 based on comparison to NGC's...

Thanks for the confirmation occnumis2021. 152 seemed the best fit. Didn't realize one could send coins to Grellman. For grading and/or variety attribution?...
