OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 2:28 pm Picked this up in a mixed lot with some Buffalo nickels. It's a bit rough. Sure looks like an N1 to me. I overlaid it with an N1 and N2 form PCGS and it matches the N1. On the N2, the 1 is further to the left. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 10:00 am I'm not completely convinced it is an 1823. If it is then yes it is the overdate On the N-2 the 1 is further RIGHT compared to the point of the bust. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36684 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 12:22 pm Could it be 1820 over 19? Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 2:51 pm I too am not convinced it is an 1823 but the "3" could have had the metal smashed and moved around. Better magnification? KK Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 7:16 pm Not the best specimen, but it sure looks like 23. What other dates should I compare it to, 1829, 1828? Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/04/2012 07:35 am That's a 3!! KK Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 07/04/2012 09:05 am I agree that it is a "3". For reference, here's my 1823 (no overdate) and the font seems to match well. PG Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/05/2012 09:53 am It just seems to me that the top half of the "3" on the OP coin is narrower than that seen on paleoguy's 23. Also the shape of the opening in the top of the 3 is wrong. It seems much smaller. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36684 Posts	Posted 07/05/2012 11:16 am The center point of the 3 is clear in this larger photo. I'm leaning towards 23. Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/05/2012 12:53 pm It looks like enough of a 3 that I'll keep it in that spot in my album. Eventually it will get replaced. Report this Post to the Staff
