Message:: [QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1400191, member: 29109"]Hey CT, Recently picked this one up with hopes of it turning out to be "the one", and by that, I mean the 1812/1 Large '8' variety. With the coin being heavily circulated, it has made it extremely difficult to attribute and confirm the variety. The coin appears to exhibit the '1' (almost resembling a die crack) coming down between the opening of the '2', and falling near the middle of the 2's outer slope. Also visible is a portion of the secondary '1' protruding from the upper-portion of the 2's knob. Die state looks correct, with the primary date's 1's being short and fat with shorter base serifs, unlike other variety's longer, skinnier 1's. The only thing that confuses me a bit is the my coin's flat to 1's, whereas most 1812/1 Large 8's I've seen have pointed ones, but there may just be a more than one Overton for this variety, or circulation wear may have just caused distortion. If anyone knows of any other diagnostics to attributing this variety, please share! I'm in search of opinions- amatuer or expert. All input provided is greatly appreciated!
