<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1513047, member: 36230&quot;]Some here do this for a living too. I&#039;ve a buddy who has been a full-time B&amp;M since the 50&#039;s yet could not identify an less-than-obvious variety if it slapped him in the face. The point I was trying to make earlier is that just because someone does &quot;this&quot; for a living, it does not make them experts. I don&#039;t know the dealer you took this to...maybe he does know what he is talking about (its not for me to judge) but you should always keep an open mind and learn for yourself. If the coin is what you hope, great and good for you. If not, take this as a learning experience and become a better collector for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>This may interest you:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1877/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1877/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1877/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>While the book was released before acceptance of the variety, its still interesting to read&nbsp; what is said about it. I have to agree that the larger bottom (2nd&nbsp; seven) appears to be a repunch and not part of an overdate, but to each his own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being&nbsp; as you have the coin in-hand, be sure to check the date placement (in&nbsp; relation to denticles, etc). Locate other marker and try to match them before submitting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
