Original, crusty example of an extremely difficult variety. There&#039;s a nice spread between PCGS 30 and 40, so I didn&#039;t mind buying strong on this one. And considering the population of this bad boy, I figured, once I got around to getting one for my set, I&#039;d have to shell-out a few extra.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plenty of people are familiar with the 18.11 (Punct. Date/1811/10 Overdate) variety, but I&#039;ve noticed this one isn&#039;t quite as popular. Why? Who knows! Because it&#039;s not as dramatic? Well, you could say that. Because it&#039;s not an Overdate like the 1811/10? I suppose. But, in reality, this variety, compared to the 18.11, is truly a rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you who aren&#039;t familar with this variety, it is caused by a raised chip in the coin&#039;s die. The die chip convenienty occured between the &#039;1&#039; and &#039;7&#039; in the coin&#039;s date, creating what mimics the appearance of a decimal.
