<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 8160839, member: 21705&quot;]<b>My apologies for leaving this thread unattended.&nbsp; Several items have come up during the investigation of my &quot;half NC-2&quot; which have distracted me. First is the following: </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>1800/79 1C Style Two Hair, S-192, B-6, R.4, AU55 NGC.</b> Breen Die State III with an arc crack from IC of AMERICA through the fraction, and a branch from that crack to the tail of the adjacent R. The 1800 overdated large cents include five die pairs with Style One Hair and six die pairs with Style Two Hair. The present example is from the S-192 die pair, a relatively common variety with a low Condition Census.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a recent post and refers to 5 die pairs with Style 1 Hair. It might be an error or a new discovery I am not aware of since my latest information is Noyes and or The Holmes Sale depending on the date. I am aware of S-190, S-191, NC-5 and NC-6.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, I found this coin listed as NC-2 Die State I without the typical rim break/CUD in the right field. [ATTACH=full]1424429[/ATTACH]</p><p>The position of the 8 rotated clockwise and close to the 1, particularly at the bottom, have now given me second thoughts about the NC-2 possibility. My coin does have the attributes of the 1 being distant from both the hair and&nbsp; curl as well as being a somewhat compact date. The rim break/CUD I thought I saw making me lean toward NC-2 no longer seems sufficient. </p><p><br /></p><p>The right side of the 1 still lines up with the junction of the hair and bust, so this will eliminate many. I&#039;m still working on the hypothesis that this is an overdate showing parts of the 7 above the 8 and a light 9 under the first 0. But I must consider the possibility that all of that is simply PMD. But I must also consider the possibility of NC-1 again since it meets date parameters including more even spacing of the date along with the compact date and 1 lining up with the junction of the hair and bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the same time, I&#039;m at the point of photographing my collection and happen to be in the 1800 overdates.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it might be time to give the overdates of 1800 a more thorough study than the typical attribution project.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
