Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 4:28 pm SuperDave, you can go ahead and attribute away. I'll post the Overton # in an hour or so if you (or anyone else) haven't gotten it by then. Report this Post to the Staff

Thank you for that; I was being sarcastic, but this actually turned out to be an interesting and worthwhile experience. There's a lot of 1836 varieties which closely resemble each other, and I learned a lot in the process. O-110, I think, based on the S in STATES, the D-E overhang, and the shape of the 5.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 9:21 pm Congrats Bonedigger, it must be getting difficult to find types you don't already have. Question: has this one had the clasp detail re-engraved? The oval groove looks very sharp considering the level of wear, plus it appears to consist of several straight lines rather than a smooth curved line. Report this Post to the Staff

You know, I took a look at that and also took in the fact the shield stripes/lines were also in pretty good shape. Don't think it has been 'touched up' but I can't re-examine the coin now as we're in Texas attending a funeral. We should be back home by Sunday or so. Take Care Ben Report this Post to the Staff
