988tech New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/01/2012 11:26 pm This is a 1834 Capped Bust quarter that I had posted on another topic. Well, I was looking at it really close tonight and noticed this strange ghost like effect on the 4 in 1834. Also, the 3 looks a little odd. Is this normal? Is it repunched? Will it effect the value? Thanks. Edited by 988tech 02/02/2012 4:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 02/02/2012 12:36 am It looks like a 1834/24 (repunched date), but I don't see it listed in my CherryPickers Guide... Report this Post to the Staff
988tech New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/02/2012 06:33 am OK, well that is something different. I was getting ready to sell this on ebay, so in your opinion, how should I go about describing it or should I not even mention it? You can't see it with the naked eye and really hard to see with a mag glass. Report this Post to the Staff
988tech New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/02/2012 2:55 pm I don't have a CherryPickers Guide. I guess I need to go buy one since I am starting to get into this. Seems like there are a lot of things to discover. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/03/2012 11:08 am Appears to be obv 1. There are only two obverses known for the five varieties of 1834 and neither one is listed as having a repunched date. I see what you are talking about in the above photos but they aren't really very clear. Report this Post to the Staff
988tech New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/03/2012 12:08 pm Thanks Conder101, what kind of camera do most coin collectors use to get close-ups. I am having a lot of difficulty using a Canon Rebel. I took many pictures trying to get better ones, but these are the best I could do. So if it is a obv 1, what does that do to the value of the coin if anything? Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

988tech New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/03/2012 3:01 pm Yeah. I just read that. Thanks. Will try it. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/03/2012 4:55 pm The Canon I use has a Super Macro mode that lets you get VERY close and detailed. Yours may also have that feature... Report this Post to the Staff
