I'd appreciate your responses being in text format, which makes it easier to respond to.

1) I can't find the reference, but I'm certain I read that Carl Barks stated that he'd been born in 1867 and earned the fist dime exactly ten years later. Regardless, it is Don Rosa's timeline the one that is considered canon, and it is unequivocal that the "official" version in the first image of this article is the 1873 Seated Liberty. Any other depictions are secondary and should no be included in the primary's paragraph.

2) The author also states that: "Until 1891 all dimes bore the portrait of the Goddess of Liberty" (not true; the portrait on the obverse of the Barber dime and the later "Mercury" dime both feature the portrait of the "goddess of Liberty"), "Eagles on dimes were discontinued 100 years earlier!" (which is also not true; 1837 is only 54 years, little over half the century cited), and "So we shall never know neither the look nor the year of Scrooge's Number One Dime!" which is patently untrue since it is unequivocally established in canon that it is an 1873 Seated Liberty.

3) It's not a matter that "I don't have the story"; it's that it cannot be confirmed that the gigantic dime seen in two panels is the Number One Dime. Without this confirmation, the wiki is just taking your word on the veracity of your statement. Offering a link to a page that does not show the panels in question in the required context does not provide the confirmation required. If you could provide a hyperlink to a page that shows that the giant dime seen in the panels in question is the Number One Dime, that would be great.

I will make the observation that the giant dime in question still has a full, flat, reeded edge and does not seem to fit the profile of the razor-thin dime of the first appearance, where its edge was so thin it could cut rope.
