<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 6592989, member: 105098&quot;]what do you see with the date, because while a picture of the obverse and reverse is good for a general overview of the coin, it doesn&#039;t help at all to see the date. hahahaha.&nbsp; a close up of the date area would be good please. as clear as you can get the picture, when you zoom in on these it gets blurry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also while you are there, a picture of the 10th star from the left, the one that&#039;s right around 3 o clock might also be useful, i feel like there&#039;s something going on there above the star?</p><p><br /></p><p>from NGC &quot;There are a total of 45 numbered die marriages for 1851 cents. After the usual deductions for those that are now known to be duplicates in later die states, the net figure is 42. Most of these look almost exactly alike to anyone but a variety specialist, but the one standout is N-3. On this obverse die the first two numerals of the date were punched upside down and then corrected. An inverted 18 remains clearly visible underneath the 51. This variety is quite common, yet its appeal is such that it brings a premium that advances progressively with each grade.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>this one is what the kids call the &quot;1851 over 1881&quot; its and upside down 18 after the first 18 that right side up.</p><p><br /></p><p>it&#039;s going to be one of the varieties for that year, whether it adds any value, I can&#039;t tell you until you figure out which one it is. You might need a specialized book on the die marriages to figure it out and a lot of time making comparisons of minute details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
