Between this thread and @Fabrosee 's half, I think I need an aspirin.

Tired dies on @micbraun 's coins??

On the 1808 the stars are drawn to the edges and on the 1818 there are a couple of prominent die cracks. So yes, tired dies is correct… can you be more precise though?

 

Well, I'm thinking they are quite possibly the same grade - VF25 maybe?, in spite of the strike differences.
I'll look some more when the day's work is done if I can still function.

 

Correct, both graded VF30 by PCGS. Note that due to the weak strike they may appear more worn than they actually are. Anything else?

 

Aw, shouldn't have edited my post...scared of looking like a liberal grader.

 

Clashing on both?

Maybe someone else has some ideas...

 

What are 6 coins that have never been in my kitchen?

 

Both late die states? Lovely coins by the way.

ETA- oh, longshot said that already. Hmmm... looking for the word terminal?

 

Clue: guess the Overton variety ;-)

 

Both are 104's.

 

Correct, both were certified as O-104a, however the 1818 is a very late die state and should have been called O104b.

You’re next

 

I was hoping this thread might grow legs, but it seems to have died. Here's another one,

These 3 coins have something in common. What?

 

just a bump so I can find this again

 

Thanks for the bump, Frank. As a not so strong hint, there are other coins that also fit this question---I just happened to have these examples handy.

 

easy, all Busties!



[excuse for a bump]

 

Their pictures are all blurry :-D

 

That can be said about ALL my pics.

Hint: This question pertains to the die marriages of the coins.

 

1826 O-103 - minted in 1827
1827 O-108 - minted in 1828
1834 O-119 - minted in 1835

I believe all were minted a year later than the date would suggest.

 

Ding, ding, ding, ding.
