[QUOTE="gettingbrowned, post: 573764, member: 15298"]Just picked up these two ladies... paid $120 and $109 respectively on ebay. Help on Overton numbers would be appreciated! The auction has a 7 day return policy... so be brutally honest please. I will probably wind up keeping these coins unless they are fake. That said, I would like to know what anyone has to say. 1829: My guess is probably EF-40? The scratch on the reverse hurts but isn't as easy to see in hand.

Die attrition? It looks to me like this coin has got some serious strike weakness going on in places.. especially the rim on the obverse.. doesn't appear to be wear to me O_o? Oh yeah and ... I [I]really[/I] like the toning.. I think it is natural but am not sure.
