<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 176483, member: 4367&quot;]Thanks Guys for the responses.&nbsp; Yes Big Z the cost was around $60.00 and was told then I paid too much, LOL.&nbsp;&nbsp; Reckon if I were to really publicize the coin and sell it thru one of the MAJOR auction services it might fetch $1500 - $2000.&nbsp; You know with an ad in one ot the coin rags a month or so ahead of time.&nbsp; It would however be sold raw, if I were to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Overton Numbers as you know don&#039;t recognize die cracks.&nbsp; Not in all instances though as evidenced by all the (a) varieties listed in the latest book.&nbsp; Let me put it this way, I&#039;m not a member of the club and don&#039;t get the opportunity to lobby for it&#039;s inclusion in Edition 5. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also IF the there are other examples held by the BHNC members and nobody else, I would think they&#039;d be chomping at the bit to have the sub variety listed.&nbsp; Remember, this is the only pictured example available...</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think this is the ULTIMATE First Strike coin.&nbsp; The die shattered after the first or second planchet was stamped, and I&#039;ve got one.&nbsp; The mint went on to produce the rest of the run on this die with the cracks. Thus according to all the books, &quot;All 1808/7, O-101 Bust Half Dollars have die cracks around the rim...&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care and Merry Christmas</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
