DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/18/2007 9:14 pm I have not seen such extreme metal flow as this 1831. It looks like shooting stars. The reverse lettering has a similar affect. Edited by DoubleDie 05/18/2007 9:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/18/2007 11:28 pm I have seen examples with the metal flow from the die strike many times. I think this is the most extreme that I have encountered. The die must have been warped to cause the metal to flow in this manner. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/19/2007 08:26 am don't they call that the shooting star Bust Half? I am not sure if I am correct or not but have seen it called that on ebay by a few sellers Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 05/19/2007 08:49 am I'm sure there are other examples, but it's not a rare Overton Variety to my knowledge. I wish I could keep the coin, but I'm selling it on consignment on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
