I have a book at home - if you post pictures of the front and reverse I will try to attribute it when I get home tonight.

 

not listed in the Red Book or Breens.

 

1831 B5 or B7 depending on reverse.


Obverse: 1/1 (complete repunched date)

 

Obv. and Rev.

 

Not sure of the variety - 3 in date low, long 1's over short 1's. Reverse: Large letters, 25C large and low near border, base of 2 curved. Eagle has no tongue. The difference between this and the B-7 is that the arrow heads are long arrow heads that almost touch border. The B-7 has short arrow heads not near the border - and is an R-6 coin. Post some close ups of the boarder. Check out the B-5 and B-7(only one) on heritage closed auctions.

 

I hope this helps you out.

 

If they were a bit bigger I could tell you, I think the others have it right though it is either a B-5 or a B-7.

 

not sure why but I can't get my pics to blow up any larger. there already 1280 x 1040. Any ideas?

 

here a link to photo pucket the pics R 6MP.

I agree!
Is this Overton B-5???

 

OK so what does that mean? I've been into coins for a long time but never got into the classifications.

Is it rare can I sale it and quite my job and buy an island? lol

 

Overton & Breen are a books of Die variety's know.2 book and Overton & Breen are there authors

 

I know the books and I know tey cost some cash to buy. I guess I will google it.

The browning book is the one I have and it looks like a B-7. I am not an expert and there is only one example of the B-7 on heritage. The B-5's all seem to have the arrows almost right against the boarder. I would check over at the coinzip forums. Just my humble opinion.

I agree! I was wrong
At my age 58 I do forget at times

If we could see a close up of the Coin's Obv & Rev that would help.there is a listing in the Cherrypicker Guide vol#4 pg116 of the date and noted as a Breen 3919
here what it explain( A large date logo punch was used over a small date logo punch,the 1' and the 8 are clearly re-punched)and it go on to say the variety bring a small premium over the normal coin
A closeup photo like this would help

I agree!
I have a 1835 no period after 25 c/25.c. that not as rare as the 31.but from the photo to me it been clean at one time.a better photo would help:kewl:
