    Here is an 1824 over 4. The die was recut on the (4) and (reverse) the letters AME are joined as well. There is a small die lump between the eagles beak and the (N) of UNITED. These are some of the diagnostics which identify the coin.

    It appears to have been cleaned in the past and looks like a VF-30/35.

    Ben:
    Nice piece, is it the O-109 or the O-110?
    Once again, tad hah! (That is my example for a trumpet sound.)
    I have both.
    Neat over date, I cherried mine.
    :kewl:

    Cool, I tried to Cherry Pick off of eBay for many of mine, but sometimes the pictures didn't do the coin justice or visa versa. :D

    I still think it's a 110 instead of the 109. The (OBV) S7 inside point is below the cap edge and (REV) there is a distinct lump between the beak and the (UN).

    Thankis for looking :)

    Yes, definately the O-110, easy choice now, the O-109 has the base of the A higher than the M!
    Also, I see the dot but the diagnostic of the arrow heads is misleading, since both are misshapen.
    Nice choice.

    One of these days, if I can ever figure out how to do it.
    Thanks for the thought.
