<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4052091, member: 101855&quot;]Overton attributions can be real bear, even when you a fairly high grade coin. When I was dealer, I had an 1827 Bust Half. After spending 15 minutes on it, I gave up. The graders don’t get anything close to that amount of time to assign a grade. The people who do the attributions probably don’t get much more. Therefore it’s not surprising that they make some mistakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The worst mistake I ever saw was on a Bust half in AG-3 that a grading called an R-7 variety. If that had been true, the piece would have been worth $1,500 or so. It turned out that the piece was really an R-1 variety that was worth not much more than one one hundredth of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
