[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 95519, member: 66"]Since both obverse and reverse are of the lettered edge capped bust design the stars should be seven left six right for a total of 13. That is what this piece has, the first two stars are faint but they are there. The digit style also does not match that used in 1837. Counterfeit bust halves are collected by die variety by several serious collectors. Bogus Busties can sometimes bring some good prices.[/QUOTE]
