<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1286210, member: 5036"]I was at the big coin show of the year (at least in this area) and had made some great purchases, got some nice barber dimes for my album and a few Canadian silver 5 cent pieces for not too much. I was at my last table of the show just doing a once over and saw this piece in one of the red boxes. I knew at first glance that since I only had one other 1817 CBH and I knew exactly which Overton it was, that this one could be a great addition to my collection. The dealer called it a clashed die from the shield, but that doesn't match up from obverse to reverse and it looks like more of a struck through or defective planchet error to me. I believe the coin to be an O-107 even though the die lines are not really there over the cap. I've taken closeups of the anomalies on the obverse and the reverse for your consideration. let me know your thoughts.</p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Bust%20Halves/1817O-107017.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Bust%20Halves/1817O-107018.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Bust%20Halves/1817O-107014.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Bust%20Halves/1817O-107013.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
