<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2434168, member: 1892&quot;]That reeded-style rim was the norm for 1832. It&#039;s O-112, immediately recognizable by the errant &quot;1&quot; base punched to the left of the existing digit. As Conder mentioned, slippage during the planchet&#039;s trip through the Castaing Machine was an ongoing problem with Bust Halves, and overlapped/missing edge lettering abounds in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately suspected the definition of the clasp - it&#039;s a feature not normally so well-defined at this level of wear - but looking at a few lower grade examples at Heritage indicate this variety received good strikes there so I&#039;m reassured. With that being the case, one would think the coin to be unmolested, at least in the &quot;tooling&quot; aspect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
