RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 01/12/2015 7:43 pm looks XF-40 to me. I am no expert on the values of CBH's but it seems a reasonable price for the error. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/12/2015 7:45 pm AU definitely cleaned. I begs the question, is it worth $275. In my opinion yes, it's a beautiful coin. Others may disagree. Know too that I'm primarily a cent collector and I am not working on a set of these so serious collectors of CBHs may have higher standards. Beautiful coin.

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 01/12/2015 9:42 pm XF-45 details. Personally I think you can find a nicer one for the price. Can't verify an overdate form these pics. Edited by Joe2007 01/12/2015 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
RayT17 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/12/2015 10:17 pm I am positive it is an Overton 116. It has all the key characteristics, and you can see the faint 0 just to the left of the 5. I am considering returning it due to the hairlines I see under a loupe. Report this Post to the Staff

noD Pillar of the Community United States 1584 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 10:11 am The attribution is correct. Only my opinion. I'd return it. Hairlines are tough. This variety is often overlooked, at least by sellers on ebay. You should be able to find one problem free. If you're thinking resale value, you'll have a tough time getting your money back. If you like it, keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
