<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 703257, member: 19122&quot;]Thank you for answerring, I was called away to dinner before I could respond, the coin I was having trouble with was an 1818. First thing was the date, if measured as shown in the beginning of the book it would be 8 3/4, but it does match obverse 8 in every other detail, and that measure says 9 mm, I can get it to measure 9 by measuring to the outside of the 8 instead of the center which is how it is shown to be measured on the widths of dates page, on that page the measure looks to be center to center not regarding the base. </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case I am struggling through it, but enjoying it, I spent three days on the 1818, until I started relying more on the photos and comparing them to the coin instead of the stated diagnostics.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be fantastic to find a new variety, but if not it would be okeh just not to find&nbsp; I bought a counterfeit, tho the dealer I bought from I am sure would take a return if asked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
