I can't figure out the variety of that one. The pics are just a bit too small for these old eyes to pickup the details. I love the coin. Obviously original

If you're looking for "shiny" coins, they better be choice Unc or better. If they're over 80 years old (or even newer), chances are it has been dipped. Hopefully, someone cleaned/dipped it very carefully. Also, you want to be sure there aren't a myriad of hairlines all over the surfaces of the coin. This type of choice material is very tough to find and has prices to match. If you blindly buy the "shine" you'll regret it when you sell.



Thank you. I knew that already. The question wasn't about whether I had the money to buy such a thing but how I like the look of the coin but if it makes you feel better to tell me because it makes you feel superior then be my guest.

I know, I've only got one 1831 (O-108) variety. My high bid anount was $70 and when the (newby, only 2 FeedBacks) bidder ran it up to $68.01 with less than a minute, I thought I'd lost it, but they stopped bidding.

Thanks for looking
Ben
