"CC" DIME VARIETY HELP
I need a little help and I figured that someone from our C4OA might have the information I'm looking for. I am the owner of a nice 1877-CC seated dime (NGC MS-66) and I understand that there are two types of reverse dies for this date. I don't know which reverse type my example is. Can anyone explain to me how to identify the Type I and Type II reverses. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Drummer,
Take a look at the reverse. On the TI, the E of ONE is close to the wreath, whereas on TII the E is distant. That's the attribution many use. However, I prefer to look at the the end of the left ribbon below the bow. On TI, it's split or bifurcated; on TII, it's pointed. Hope this helps.
