<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2075721, member: 46237&quot;]New pickup. Capped Bust 25C 1833 B-2 O/F (FS-901)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/1833_B2_OBV_sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/1833_B2_REV_sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This variety is a marriage of the rusted obverse die from 1833 B-1 (note the raised spots from the die pitting) with the first use of reverse F, made from a new master hub thought to have been engraved by Christian Gobrecht. This reverse change was created to reduce the number of lines in the shield stripes from 3 to 2 to reduce die wear, though the type change was relatively short lived.</p><p><br /></p><p>On this example you can see prominent doubling of the eagle&#039;s claws (most noticeable beneath the left claws), of F1 (between the O and F), and of A2 in the field preceding it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
