    Nice find!

    So, how many do you have now?

    Are you working on the BHNC?

    $75, that is indeed quite the coup, well played sir. And that coin is, IMO, around VF.

    Oh, I think I might qualify with numbers but far from knowledge, just not ready to join a club. Besides I like my freedom. : ) Actually I might jump towards that later this year, There are a few that need to be upgraded, and I want to complete a few of they year sets before I do it. Personal goals, you know how that goes.

    Thanks guys, I really like the hunt with these BHD's. Fits right in with my other passion, Large Cents. Varieties galore.

    Jim:
    Did you see the article in Coin World this week, January 12, 2009, about the large cent errors?

    Interesting read.

    Frank, I did read that, I vaguely remember that auction. Great article and some useful information. I like the Weak Strike remark.. that was classic.

    It looks like a dot in the middle of the L in PLURIBUS. The pictures are not big enough to see it good, but I can make it out.

    Ya they are getting tougher by the day too to find. Seems like every show I go to there are less and less. I do have dealers looking for me too.

    Well, Actually I didn't see the break, what I did see was a light spot in that area in their picture and always watching the I to T relation. Most of the dates in the BHD series have something that you can watch for in the rarer coins. Just a matter of studying the coins and trying to remember what you read. Sometimes when I get bored I go to ebay and just start at the top and start attributing them for practice. Ya I know, I need to get a life.
