<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 3913213, member: 105571&quot;]I was gonna call it a 65 but you gave it away before I got to it.&nbsp; It&#039;s quite a nice specimen and toning just comes with the territory as does ancient cleaning.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been looking for a nice 1837 for some time now but just haven&#039;t found &quot;The One&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like GR-23 die marriage to me:&nbsp; &quot;7&quot; high, crack from star 10 to between dentils; &quot;NT&quot; in CENTS softly impressed at tops.&nbsp; I was going to be lazy and just ask you but decided to get Graham&#039;s book down because I needed the practice.</p><p><br /></p><p>And just to confirm, all the 1836 and prior lettered-edge halves were struck on screw presses.&nbsp; The 1836, 1837 and 1838 reeded-edge halves were all struck in collars on the new steam knuckle presses.&nbsp; You can always tell the difference between the 1836s if only by the price, the reeded-edge is much more expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
