<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 2412122, member: 72642&quot;]It barely makes Good and has graffiti dating from the year 1845. It cost me solid XF money (Plus my max bid was almost twice what I got it for). But it is the last (achievable by me) die marriage for my 1827 set. It&#039;s estimated that only about 35 or so examples exist in any grade--most of which are damaged. I had been looking for an affordable O-144 for the previous 19 years.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/bustchaser/1827/144o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/bustchaser/1827/144r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you know that I am &quot;kinda&quot; nutty about 1827 bust halves--okay, so &quot;kinda&quot; doesn&#039;t cut it. This one will probably be the last one I ever buy since the last 3 remaining die marriages for the year are all high R-6 (O-137), R-7 (O-148) or R-8 (O-149) coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the problems, I kind of like them. It lends a sense of history to what is otherwise simply a worn out old coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
