<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 861220, member: 66"]Here is a nice one that was brought up on the EAC Region 8 mail list</p><p><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/02/!Bmr5q4w!2k~$(KGrHqYOKjIEtld+u!qiBLgeM5sd0w~~_3.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i.ebayimg.com/22/!Bmr5r2!BGk~$(KGrHqUOKjUEtlu8Dr06BLgeM816Zw~~_3.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This is a pretty decent looking 1830 large cent. Nothing really jumps out as a problem. It has the "medium" letters reverse (note the wide spacing between the letter in STATES) and that only comes on 1830 N-6. Uh-oh, there's a problem. The obverse has the high 0 that only comes on N7, 8, 9, and 11. You take a closer look at the reverse and you realize that it is NOT the same die that was used on 30 N-6 (On N-6 the top leaf extends past the right side of the last S in STATES). I haven't traced it completely but I think it is the reverse of 1832 N-1.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you don't know the varieties you probably would not catch this one. (At least from the pictures. In hand it might not look so good.) So far the seller has sold this one twice. The first time for $300 to someone who thought it was an N-6 and who didn't realize it until after he had it in hand. (From his feedback apparently the seller also did a coin switch as well because he said the coin that arrived was a large letter reverse.) This time he got $100 for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
