cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 12:06 pm I just received this 1805 and it's a minor upgrade. My other 1805s are pointed 1 and this one is blunt 1. It looks like an S-268 variety to me (R5) Die Marriage 1B. If anyone can confirm, I'd appreciate it. Assistance with the grade please? It has decent surfaces with a few rough spots.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 12:45 pm Definitely S-268. Rarest of the three 1805 varieties, but I don't think they're calling it R-5 anymore. More like R-3. Very attractive! Keep it raw! You want a grade? Let the consensus here provide it! Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 5:26 pm I did some research today and found the transaction where the seller bought this coin. It was in an ANACS holder VF20 Details. Maybe he broke it out because of the 'corroded' ? Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 6:06 pm Wouldn't you? Look at this coin! Corroded is relative, and this sure doesn't look like it was dug out of a privy hole! Edited by philadelphian 12/07/2012 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
