Are those stars touching each other on the obverse?

Overton 106 has a die crack that runs through the date, the stars on the left and Liberty...much like your coin, so I think it's genuine. The wear pattern is not unlike some of the others I looked at. The rims are quite strong for the amount of wear on the devices....was my first thought, however.

It looks like O-105 to me and I would grade it at F-15, nice coin.

The points of the stars nearly touch on O-105, so I stand corrected. Looks to be a very late die state.

F-15
I take it that is not a scratch on the obverse.
Can someone tell me what that is at 12:00 on the obverse?

That actually looks to me like a drop of solder. I can't see that coin in a PCGS slab with a numeric grade. If it came from a PCGS slab, I could only envision it as being labeled "genuine". It's still a nice coin, so don't get me wrong...I'm not beating the OP up over it. I'd buy it at the right price too. I love draped bust material.

There is a Cud at 12:00 and 7:00. I saw the coin weeks ago when it was in the PCGS slab. |

Not the kind of Cud you usually see. I've certainly not seen everything though. Did you remove it to put it in a type set, or did the seller remove it? I would have left it in the slab I think. In fact, now that my bust half is to be entombed in plastic, I've decided to seek another for the 7070. Chance |

the prior owner removed the coin. However, I probably would have removed it anyway because I just don't care for the plastic prison.

I am not a real big fan of coins I can't touch either, but over the past couple months of studying Heritage sales and reading forums, I have pretty much come to the conclusion that if you ever intend to sell, there is a growing number of collectors who rely on the third party exclusively. I think it makes collectors lazy as far as learning to grade coins, and in some cases, even leads them to pay too much money for coins that have obviously been altered since their minting. But these coins make it into slabs...and people pay stupid money for them. Take a look at this one....and ask yourself....just how did this coin remain white for 188 years?...and how did it get those hairlines? Are those in the plastic? If they are, then I charge that the seller of the coin should have polished the slab before offering the coin for sale. Personally, I think this coin has been dipped and wiped...yet somehow still managed to be blessed by PCGS as being MS62. I am thinking of slabbing the half a dozen or so truly exceptional coins in my 7070 and selling off the rest. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...src=pr#PhotoChance |
