I think it is a O-118, could someone possible confirm my attribution. Once again all comments good/bad are welcome. I think this is a VF30 maybe XF40 coin. It is slightly darker than the pictures - probably an old cleaning. No matter what not bad for $65 in my opinion. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

My smithsonian set - last time I looked was up to $1900 retail. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

I would have snapped that up too. Can you tell me, what does O-118 mean? I've seen that so many times and I've never known what is indicated by that. Thanks.   06-12-2008, 11:47 PM   #5 (permalink) HandsomeToad Urinist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 6,599 My Mood: Awesome snab, Mark! I don't see any clashes, which is odd for you since you seem to love those, but there are several spikes on the reverse legend but as to Overton, I haven't a clue. Great share! Ribbit   06-12-2008, 11:53 PM   #6 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,395 It is the overton or variety number for the coin. Bonedigger knows this stuff by heart, but I had to look it up. In 1828 there were 13 obverse dies and 17 reverse dies it produced 23 marriages or varieties for the year. And I do like die clashes, but I prefer die cracks on my CBH's. It makes it easier for me to attribute them. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

Ribbit   06-13-2008, 08:13 AM   #8 (permalink) Jim M Numismatist     Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: In A House Posts: 2,753 Mark there is a great website for matching up Overton numbers. Most of the Bust Nut guys hang out there. Great resource for information on alot of coins. I do have to mention that the moderators there are pretty nice too. http://coinzip.proboards79.com/index...ay&thread=1771 I do believe that is an O-118. Nice pickup R3. __________________ WINS, ANA, MSNS, HVNS, TEC, CONECA "Never Argue with an Idiot.

It looks EF-40 to me and O-118 looks allright. Very nice snag. __________________ A few things to remember, Certification and Attribution are Absolute and Definitive.

Thanks all for the confirmation. I agree and I do lurk over there a lot. In this case the pictures were not much help to me. I eventually did it by process of elimination and was not confident of it. Thanks again all! __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!
