edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 4:19 pm I purchased this for $4.75, and it was supposed to be an 1836. Looks like an 1816, and the best I can come up with is N-1. Am I close? The left of the curl is over the right edge of the second 1. That narrows it down to N-1,2, or 3. Only the 6th and 23rd leaves are visible on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

DKA-Numis Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 4:40 pm I think that it is N-3, due to the position of the tip of the leaf under the E in STATES. The position of the word "OF" would cement that, but I just can't make it out from the pictures. The obverse is indicative of either N-1, 2, or 3, as you said. The later state Cud at 1 o'clock is fairly clear. Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 5:58 pm O.K. I'm at home in front of my laptop but that doesn't help much. This could be an N-1 reverse or it could be N-3. Both have the 6th leaf past center and the 23rd slightly past center. Unfortunately we can't see the 15th leaf or the where the 10th berry falls. Flip the coin in the air, if it lands on heads call it N-1. Edited by Celticsoul 02/21/2015 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16684 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 6:11 pm It's 1816 and more than likely N-3 but not enough detail unfortunately. Barely makes AG details IMO. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1392 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 6:58 pm I am useless with attributing these, but I think that buying an almost 200 year old coin for under $5.00 is great! Report this Post to the Staff
