I got this today from an estate sale. I would like your opinions on grade and Overton number. Will NGC grade with the slight rim indent on the second star left side of the bust ?
From the pictures, I am going to go ahead and say it is an O-111 R-1. This die pair shows the "I" in Pluribus is to the right of the "T" in States. Also matching a few other features up. I could be wrong. Looking at a picture is a lot different than having the coin in hand and seeing the fine die cracks that could be on the coin that may match more to a different Overton number. But from this pics, thats what I would say it is. As to NGC grading coins like this, its a gamble. I have seen coins that look just like this that have graded, and others, well, not so lucky…If I was buying this coin, I'd put it at a F-15. Wouldn't be surprised if NGC didn't put it at a 20 though!
I'm in the 20 camp as well. I have seen a lot worse rim bumps in holders so I don't think it should be an issue.
Thanks, everybody. My first thoughts were F12, but I tend to be harder on these old CBH's. At least this does not look like it has had any old cleanings, like many I have seen.
