Two Cherrypicks I've never found until now

SO excited about these two. I always thought the 1852/inverted 1852 3-cent silver was a myth. To bad it's polished, but I don't care!

Why would there be a 2 there in the first place?

 

Did someone grab the wrong punch?

 

No, just up-side down

 

Either that, or he was standing on his head.

Doesn't look like an inverted 2 under that 1.

 

No Tommy Friday was casual Friday BYOB and get the party started . Drinking on the job was ok fine . In fact.... that's how the straw was invented....yup ya can't hold a drink, a punch ,and a hammer all at the same time.

 

Both the trime and shield are great finds! That 6666 carries a nice premium . I always you need to revisit your collection and see what you missed the first time around.

 

It is. Look in your Cherrypickers.

 

nice cherries!

 

Yeah it is and from the looks of the op coin a $500-600 value , plus the 1852 /2 is listed in red book with no mintage. ...... the shield values Around 250-280. Value in its condition . Ya found gold!!!! Tell you what I'll offer 10 cents that's a 2 cent profit over face or what the bank would give ya. Deal?

 

I did but they didn't know what I was talking about (who does?)

 

Frank is talking dirty again.

 

I don't doubt that it might match a coin in the Cherrypicker Guide; that wasn't the point. The issue I have with it is that I don't see the spacing matching the style of the 2 used as the punch.

 

Well, I'm not sure who discovered it. Honestly I have always only gone by what little is out there about it. Perhaps it's like the 1836 bar-dot variety Capped Bust Half. Many people believe the little bar and dot are from a 4 digit - making it a 1836/1834 overdate. But nothing has been proven or found. Perhaps the 1852 over inverted 2 3-cent silver is some other digit... who knows? But, it's freaking cool even on this crappy coin.

 

I like those unique RPD. I remember reading about the 1866 RPD and thought that it looked amazing.

I wondering if you found those coins with this?

 

Nice picks!

 

Never heard of 1852/inverted 1852 3-cent silver. Please explain

 

Pcgs has a pop of zero and no pictures of it. NGC has a pop of 1, being an MS61, and the close up is visible on their website. Basically they believe a "1" digit was punched over an inverted "2" digit, which had been placed there by accident.
