I will admit if I lived in the UK I might bid on the coin, but not much more than it is now.
The cracks mentioned are part of the diagnostics of the 109. As for the C - it looks like this one on heritage - with the lump inside the C being...
I believe Breen is more current and easier to use that the newcomb book - or so I have been told. I have not really looked for the breen book.
Okay it is a N-19. Took me a while to find that reverse description. Like this coin on heritage. Very interesting variety.
Well you can get the newcomb book here for 50$. Or here is another place - which I have not used. Now the only problem is that not all varieties...
I would call the coin XF40. Nice coin. I would put the price between 80-100.

Well I clearly see the D/D while the lettering on the coin looks like machine doubling to me, but certainly not that mint mark. That is a cool...
Learned something new today. To me BU just mean unc and the rest like "gem bu" meant the seller wanted more money. :) I did not know there was...
You know - I actually agree with your choice of grade on the 1811. Now having said that - the holder says VF30 and I am still more than please...
Got it - thanks for the info.
A couple of new ones arrived today. Of course any and all comments are welcome. Now off to see what else I missed in the forums today....
Okay here is the coin and again congrats! [IMG][IMG]
Nice finds and a good buy on the 1943 cents.
