[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 131526, member: 1674"]Well Bone it looks like Peterson and Parsley (Overton 4th ed.) list the 1835 O-104 as an R3 so there must have been a good sized group of them that have surfaced in the last 15 years. Additionally, I think that your coin is a o-107. It shares the same reverse die as 104 but has a different obverse. Star 1 on your coin points at a dentil and star 1 on o-104 points between dentils. Additionally,the 5 in the date on your coin is inconsistant with the 5 on the o-104. The 5 on o-107 has a horn shape pointing up and is recut to the right. Also there is a small die lump to the right of the lower portion of the 5 in the date. Here is another photo from Peterson that shows the 5's shape, recutting, and the die lump: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v405/jsmexico/100_3729.jpg[/IMG] If yours has the die lump and recutting (I can't tell from the photos) then it is a 107, no other marriage uses that particular obverse die. As for grade it looks VF-ish and if the color is accurate, then I think it has been dipped and has started to retone.[/QUOTE]
