I've searched high and low, and so far I've obtained Several. At a show I received a 1914 to examine and ended up paying $15 for a Choice VF with what id believe to be an (early) late die state. VF in CherryPickers' Guide is valued at $700.00 My only concern is are these being overvalued? I recently sold an XF example on ebay for a mere $175. Dont get me wrong, the profit margin for that, of a coin I payed less than 25 for, is incredible, but it just leads me to believe that maybe these desireable overdates minted in 1914 are being severely overlooked by collectors. It is obvious that there are MANY out there to be picked! Just thought Id share my story and opinion to my fellow numismatists -Andrew Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 8:22 pm I feel they are over rated. They all look like normal coins from what I can see. The line above the date matches the so called 3. Normal: Graded examples: All images from Heritage. Some graders don't recognize them. (I don't remember which company right now) Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 8:33 pm i know that ngc does not recognize them. I know what you mean by the line...possible die marker? alignment for date? or possible late late late die state of an overdate? They say several hubs were effected. But how did it take 80 or some odd years to be noticed? Personally I think earlier die states are worth more of a premium than the later die states which seem to be a dime a dozen. Just look on ebay closely at the dates and see how many you can pick out (probably 6 out of 10.) its ridiculous! Report this Post to the Staff
