Hammbone Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 11:17 am I just put this on ebay and wanted to make sure this is large letters Also since it "seems" to be a scarce coin- I'm thinking of doing a buy it now but would like someone's expertise in grading so I can ask a fair buy it now price? What would you think is a fair buy it now price? Report this Post to the Staff

Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 10:22 pm This is a small letters coin. The large letters has a massive die break through the eagles right wing (left side when viewing the coin) that is diagnostic of the large letters variety. I think this would be a good candidate for a TPG to get the best return, but I know from your other posts that this is probably not an option. It's a nice coin and worth a bit in any case.

I don't think it has been, judging from the pictures, but making sure never hurts. As for a fair BIN price, I would say anything between $350 (numismedia) and $600 (PCGS). I would do cursory research in recently-completed ebay listings to get a better ballpark for its value. Report this Post to the Staff

Hammbone Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 06/01/2014 1:40 pm It looks like mine is large date large letters. Doesn't it to you? This coin sold this morning for $135.00 I hope the buyer is happy with his new addition. It certainly sold more than what the buyer was going to pay, so I can't complain. Moving on to selling more on line. Looks like I may need to extend auction duration on rare coins tho. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 08:40 am Susuman is correct: Quote: The large letters has a massive die break through the eagles right wing (left side when viewing the coin) that is diagnostic of the large letters variety. Overton-101/R-2 (and it's LDS Overton-101a/R-1) are the only 1832 CBHs that are considered "Large Letters" on the reverse. My 2015 RedBook shows no difference between the Large Letters and the Medium Letters reverse, price-wise. Edited by Moe145 06/03/2014 08:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
