Not a problem...as I said above I'm always ready to learn something new even after 50 years (as of next month) of specializing in bust halves.
The only problem I spot in my post is the wonky looking date. And yes, in my pic it IS wonky looking--especially the 8. In reality, it isn't...
As a rule, with the exception of the wing the O-102 is probably the best struck 1809 there is. Hard to believe that the reverse die had already...
Yes, it is a sickness, even after nearly 50 years of specializing in them I still have to attribute any bust half that gets posted.
Let 'er rip.
Yes, I kind of thought it might be you who got it. [ATTACH]
Hint: Think about the overall years of the coins pictured--not the individual coins.
There aren't any 1813 overdates, either. But no, the pictured 1810 and 1826 are not the last Overtons in the emission sequence.
BIG :)!!! Although I am rather obsessed with 27's, I do actually own the other years--just not as many of them.
Reasonable guess. Each year does either feature an overdate, or provide the underdate for another overdated year--ie, 08/7, 11/10, 12/11...
LOL...while technically true, the same could be said for the entire century's output.
These 6 coins (not these very coins, but the dates) serve a particular distinction...What is it? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
She finally showed up. My pics. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
only one....but that one collection contains anything that attracted my attention at the time.
Die erosion...the same thing that caused the stars to elongate to the rim.
Of course, one should never say never, but the 1810 102 NEVER has a full left wing. Yours is typical. Now, someone will show me one just to...
STRONG milling on that 1810-110. Most look more like this one. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Nice looking 29/7 CirCam. I like the rust toning,
Here's a PCGS 102a XXX with the cracks at the date. The reverse crack is in its infancy. Although the coin isn't (and never has been) mine I saw...
Doesn't gotta be. There are a few early 102As with the XXX edge. I doubt this is one of them, though.
