<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 861220, member: 66&quot;]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.&nbsp; Nothing really jumps out as a problem.&nbsp; It has the &quot;medium&quot; letters reverse (note the wide spacing between the letter in STATES) and that only comes on 1830 N-6.&nbsp; Uh-oh, there&#039;s a problem.&nbsp; The obverse has the high 0 that only comes on N7, 8, 9, and 11.&nbsp; 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).&nbsp; I haven&#039;t traced it completely but I think it is the reverse of 1832 N-1.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you don&#039;t know the varieties you probably would not catch this one. (At least from the pictures. In hand it might not look so good.)&nbsp; So far the seller has sold this one twice.&nbsp; The first time for $300 to someone who thought it was an N-6 and who didn&#039;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.)&nbsp; This time he got $100 for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
