DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 3:57 pm This coin just arrived--found unattributed on ebay. This one may have been missed because the right side of the obverse was out of focus--but I still saw the markers. The only downside to this one are some very old, toned scratches on the left field. Still, a nice collectable coin, and the doubling is especially sharp on this example, even visible in the feather shafts. It may be an earlier die state than others I've found.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 4:18 pm Thanks! I thought I'd show the difference between two of these. They're similar grades, but you can see the doubling is expanded in places on the bottom coin...probably due to die wear. Edited by DVCollector 03/04/2014 4:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 6:24 pm Thanks all! Thoughts on net grade? I might grade it net VF20. Quote: Not sure what goes through a persons mind It may have been way back when it was worth just a cent. Still, it's survived in better shape than a lot of them.

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 7:04 pm Not an easy variety to find, and it's one of the more popular varieties in the series. Probably a top 10. Report this Post to the Staff
