<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fireandice556, post: 946044, member: 26508&quot;]GDJMSP - I also believe that the 1788 is below the average weight despite the fact I would grade this an F (and wear is only on high points), while post-strike or circulation damage is limited on impact and not much &#039;delamination&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the 1809 -- my points of ponder are the lumps -- most prominently on the reverse side. This may be construed as casting &#039;leftovers&#039;.&nbsp; I have no other similar specimen during this period, so I have no comparison.&nbsp; &nbsp; <i>Was it possible that due to the situational/political problem of rebellion during those times that those transitional dies suffered in terms of quality?</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>BTW<i> -- I forgot to state that these coins were purchased from eBay around 1999.</i></p><p><i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
