<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bedford, post: 151675, member: 4917&quot;]I picked up this 1812 Bust half today thinking it was an 2/1 . Now Im a bit perplexed. I have found a few&nbsp; good diagnostics that point me in the direction of this being a Large 8 2/1 variety. &amp; I really need a second opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hell I could be totally wrong but thats why Im asking for your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>The strike is off center &amp; what appear to be rim dings are actually the lettering on the edge comming over. Since it is an offcenter strike for the lack of a better term : do you think that may be throwing off the die cracks in proportion to the diagnostic in the book? Secondly could this coin have been struck at the begining of the die fatigue that causes the breaks to show up ? I am only wondering this since the breaks are so weak ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way thanks for taking a few moments to look at it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are more pics- so any of you Bust Junkies let me know if you need to see any other areas</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-Bud[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
