"The American Historical Society" ... kinda sounds like a real organization, one that has a reverence for history. I think they have a reverence for profit.

This half has been cleaned, but I paid less than 10 dollars for it....so I can live with the fact that its been cleaned.

Check out the date... The usual suspects list an 1824 over 1 variety, but what I don't understand is the right side of the "4". It wasn't a "1" stamp that did that.

Found a picture of an 1824/4 at PCGS and that is clearly the variety that you see here. It's an R5, estimated survival 1000 pieces in all grades. I think theirs may be an R-5 in MS 64, but everybody else is suggesting R-2 for the 24/4.

Care to opine?

Copied from coinzip website.

Some diagnostics for 1824/4 O-110 R2:

Obverse: Star 1 points to lower half of dentil. 4 is recut, showing earlier top left of diagonal. 82 is closer than 18 or 24.

Reverse: AME joined at base. Large dot shows in field below U. Arrowheads are joined by die defects, and two lower ones are connected to the shafts above. Small vertical tine shows at upper right side of O in OF. Letters of legend are crowded together. Right side of I is under left side of T.

Note: This marriage, and the O-109 marriage are not true overdates. They are simply 4 recut over 4.
