Message:: [QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2626893, member: 1892"]I'm not going to argue this with someone who's been involved in numismatics for far longer than I. Doug, you're just going to have to have your opinion; I won't attempt to change it. For those of you who don't just take what other people say as Gospel, go to Heritage. You'll find enough B-1's to see how the die progression works. You'll also find the OP coin, in a PCGS 63 slab with provenance from the Cardinal Collection, from which liquidation also came the MS68 1792 Half Disme and the SP66 Carter 1794 Dollar. You know, the first coin ever sold for $10 Million. The coin here was part of that collection. Typical Heritage images of excruciating resolution; you can see for yourself. It was crossed to NGC for more grade. That'll be fodder for the current Forum conversation about the NGC-PCGS spat, I think. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, this coin straight-graded from both TPG's. Don't believe anything I or anyone else has posted here; go look for yourself. Heritage has 86 1799 B-1's imaged - likely many repeat coins - but there's all the data you need to decide for yourself what's PMD and what's die progression.[/QUOTE]
