Attribute This

I'm sure this is the Reverse O from the position of the leaf at M(E) and the sunken die at STATES OF A and possibly a terminal die state.

This one doesn't fit my collection since it only has minor problems.

 

That 1796.... I'm guessing it's a S-116 R5?? I based this on the leave position next to to the T in Cent, along with the E and N nearly touching in CENT.

 

Yep. I'm concentrating on coin varieties of less than 100 population or high grade problem coins at great prices. I also go for terminal die states.

 

I hadn't noticed on the image, but this was double struck with the first image showing at the date (creating the effect of an overdate) and on the reverse inside leaf pair at O(N) just above the graffiti. It stands out in the copper more than in the photo. Also, some of the "Corrosion" at the edges turned out to be glue or lacquor.

 

I just got either a bargain or got taken to the cleaners on this one.



I believe this is right at the border of Basal-1 and Fair-2.

I'll ask how many think it's worth $155.50?

 

Big day for my 96 collection. I picked this up this afternoon. It was labeled as a 1797 rather than the 1796 it is. It's not rare, but a nice example of a concavo-convex planchet with the obverse receiving a lot of protection from being on the concavo side.

 

I just noticed it was a double strike as well. It's most noticeable above CENT on the reverse.

I like a challenge and decided to attribute this dateless offer on eBay. I was able to attribute it.




Now my only question is whether to reveal what I found or let others have the opportunity.

 

Is it me or the coin? This is the reverse of an S-210 or a previously unknown perfect die state of S-197 before Die State I with it's markers. The reverse fraction just doesn't seem quite right to me with the (1)0(0) appearing too far to the right to me. Of course the S-197 isn't right either, but I think the S-210 is the correct obverse though close. the 1800s are a tough group.

 

Times up. This is the 1806 S-270. This reverse is distinctive from all others in the series.

 

I just took a shot on another lottery ticket. I'm anxious for it's arrival to either confirm or more likely refute it's appearance. See if you can identify each side of this coin and tell me why it's a lottery ticket.

 

I recognize that reverse anywhere. It's either S-76a, S-76b, or NC-2. I see you are hoping for the latter. Looking at the spacing of the date, I think it is S-76. What kind of edge does it have? Or is that the kottery ticket?

 

That's NOT a 1795 obverse. Look at the position of the 7 entirely left of the junction of the hair and shoulder. It is obverse 3 of 1796. That would be my lottery ticket. But It's probably either wrong photos or a lamination of a ground down 96-3 obverse to the 95-C reverse. But if it's a single coin, I hit the lottery with a new variety.

 

This is plausible since the 95-C was paired with two reverses and one has two sub-varieties and the die state indicates the second variety was struck after some and before other die states of the first. Obverse 96-3 was paired with four reverses so a brief pairing with an old reverse could easily have occurred.

While worn, it does appear to be weak in all the areas described in die state IX.

 

Are you sure it is obverse 3? I concur that the date position does not match any of the 1795's married to the C reverse.

 

The coin in the first two photos does not match the last photo.

Well, it doesn't look like a DDO. It looks more like it's DOA.
