1868 Balbena Schleer-Scheb (Paternal Great-grandmother) Birth Year Coin Album
One of my favorites. Beautiful orange almost golden color, much more on the red scale than the red brown. Obverse: Die crack from the O in OF continuing across the top of the F and ending in the denticles above AM in AMERICA, another from the first 8 through the 1 and to the rim, a couple more above the ATES in STATES, possible doubling of AMERICA Reverse: Beautiful golden orange color continues. Die breaks at both 10 and 2 o'clock from the oak leaves to the rim, another from the oak leaves at 7 o'clock to the rim. There are what look like die gouges in the lower part of the oak leaves above the E in ONE.

Quite a unique coin Obverse: Looks like it was struck through quite a few fibers, coming out of the hairline above the ear, in the hair below OF, between TY in LIBERTY, next to the mouth, really, all over. Then there are the file lines, again all over. There is an extreme case of Longacre doubling in most of the letters and the entire head. Beautiful white coin. Reverse: There are 2 raised areas between the ends of the laurel wreath. Weakness in the middle of the first and bottom of the 2nd roman numerals. Numerous die file lines throughout.

Obverse: 3 die gouges in the field below the right side of the rock, seen on other 1868 H.10 examples. A small mark in the field next to the E in UNITED and another few on the robe, otherwise a nice white example. Reverse: A tiny brown spot to the right of the ribbon and one under the E in DIME but other than that a perfect reverse.
