    Hi everyone,

    A couple questions on this coin:

    Is this an 1808/7 overdate?

    Is the brighter orange/reddish coloring around Liberty from a previous cleaning?

    Would this coloration and the rim bum at 3:00 on obverse stop it from getting a solid grade?

    Thanks for the input!

    To my eye you scored a nice variety...those ears on the 8 top loop pretty much seals the deal. As to will it grade IDK.... what i do know is you scored nice pick. Congrats!

    Is that really a rim bump at 3:00 or a cud? It doesn't show on the reverse.

    I think it is a rim bump.

    Nice looking overdate. One small rim bruise with a larger one below it. It's in great shape for its age.
