<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 25512, member: 57463&quot;]I am sort of curious about how you weighed the description of this coin from Walter Breen&#039;s <i>Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Proof Coins</i>.&nbsp; Breen says of the obverse:</p><p>&quot;71 almost touch. Date begins almost centrally: slants a little down: left base of first 1 and r. base of last 1 about over spaces between dentils: shield point above tip of serif, pendant approximately central over 7. Top of D open. ...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>(Breen does allow that other varieties may exist.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you used a different guide, such as the website established by James Halperin of Heritage at <a href="http://www.coingrading.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coingrading.com" rel="nofollow">www.coingrading.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Myself, when I make a mistake, I always keep my word. Pay the money. Next time, spend the $600 on books.&nbsp; Join the ANA.&nbsp; Go to the seminars in Colorado Springs.&nbsp; You will be money ahead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
