jcuve Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 10:18 pm My information suggests that with the right end of the EPU scroll ends in the middle of the M in AMERICA and the E in EPU being in the middle of the D in UNITED, it is reverse A. That reverse was paired with Obverse 1. On the obverse we see the thirteenth star point close to the lower curl of the hair. I matched up some of the die pitting (gouging) with a few photos on PCGS just to double check. Report this Post to the Staff

jcuve Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 08:51 am Thanks. This was a fun coin to shoot. Anyone want to grade it for me? Do these sell better in plastic or raw? Report this Post to the Staff

O-101 is not a scarce variety for this year, but like most Busties the value climbs to high levels as the grade goes up. I don't have enough here to come down firmly regarding the AU/BU differentiation or surface originality, but if you twist my arm I'm going to call it MS-62. It needs to be in a slab for resale. Floor-level value for PCGS plastic - AU58 - is in the neighborhood of $800. Double/triple that if you can get it into a Mint State holder. Report this Post to the Staff
jcuve Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 01/03/2014 1:22 pm Thanks SsuperDdave. I am on the fence with high AU low MS myself. The high points don't show wear, but have tone. I am not sure how a grader will see those areas in person. Report this Post to the Staff
