I am not sure how to grade this one, I have it noted as VG-8

Original surfaces, the reverse appears to be weak as a result of he strike.

Comments?

 

1811 Small 8
O-106
R3 Grade: VF-30

[Note: NGC slab, scratches are on slab]

 

This is my last one. I think it's AT but I still like it.

 

1811 O-108 R-2 With Counterstamp "C"
Weak strike, uneven wear, possibly as a result of the counterstamp "C".

O-108

R-2

I'll let you all grade it.

Diagnostics:
Obv: 8 has crude overlapping circles.

Rev: Left side of I centered under T.
Also: tiny spike from each side of tipo of right wing. Not visible here.








Actual coin is darker, like the first picture.

 

even if AT, I like it!

Very pretty

O-109
R-2

Small 8

Just a VG-8?

Defect in upper lip.
Rev: Heavy die crack breaks thru scroll.
That is why the reverse is so weak.

Nice coin. Welcome to CT.

 

Looks like Frank went back to work before writing up the 1811 O-113

O-113
R-5
Obverse
Stars 1 & 7 both point between dentils. The date slants to the left. Milling is usually weak or missing. Obverse is LDS of O-110.
Reverse
End of the olive stem completely covers the C in 50 C. A and M nearly touch. On LDS, a crack shows at top of D STATES. A faint crack runs from lower tip of right wing down through arrowheads, 50 C, olive leaves, and to U. Left side of I under right side of T. (Reverse is LDS of O-112.)

 

nice one, another one that I need.

 

ditto, what Larry said:

Nice one, and welcome

 

1810 O-110 R-2
Obverse
The upper inner point of star 13 is scalloped. The milling on both sides of this die marriage is usually weak.
Reverse
AM is solidly joined with the M higher. ME nearly touch. (The 1810 O-103 also has the AM joined, but the M is not higher on the O-103) The lower right side of the coin's reverse is usually weak.

 

Frank showed his 1810 O-108 earlier, but since this might be my favorite bust half I show it every chance I get. The reverse die was nearly broken in half. The coin actually rocks back and forth when laid on a flat surface.

 

Speaking of shattered dies...1812 O-106
