<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 166364, member: 66&quot;]It is like leadfoot mentions, the price difference is because of the die variety.&nbsp; Your coin is a Sheldon 131 a popular variety but one that is fairly common.&nbsp; It is a low R-3 so there are maybe around 600 of them out there.&nbsp; The other coin that you liked is a Sheldon 133.&nbsp; It is a much rarer variety at R-5.&nbsp; There are around 50 to 75 known of this variety&nbsp; There are probably around 600 or so collectors of Draped bust cents by variety, maybe 200 to 300 of them serious collectors by variety.&nbsp; So there are plenty of opportunities for them to aquire an S-131, but only 1 out of every 3 serious collectors can own an S-133.&nbsp; So when one is available the price is high.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside the obverse of your S-131 also come paired with a differeent reverse that also doesn&#039;t have stems on the wreath.&nbsp; That coin, designated NC-8, is currently unique and would be worth in the mid five figures.&nbsp; The key is knowing how to tell it from yours.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
