Message:: [QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1475285, member: 29109"]Overton's book states the edge should read as follows: |||FIFTY|||CENTS|||OR|||HALF|||A|||DOLLAR||| Even though 1809 XXX and III edge varieties are included in Overton's book as varieties all their own with none similar, I believe that Overton only states them as so because there are multiple combination of edge designs within that year, and he wants to make it clear, even though from 1834-1836, the edges are technically "III" as well. But that's just my theory. I wish there was a better way for me to word that because it's kind of hard to understand the way I've explained... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> -Brian EDIT: Went ahead and attributed the coin for you, Matt, just in case you hadn't already - Looks like it's an O.120 which is an R3 on a scale of 1 to 8. If someone comes along and questions the accuracy of my attribution, by all means correct me - I may be wrong. There's twenty-three different varieties for this date, and twenty of them are nearly identical! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
