Nice rotation ... C-1 ... would be tempted to give it a 40 grade but think I would keep it at 35. I assume those are scratches on the obverse behind the head? I'd love to own it for it's great rotation.

You'd have to do all sorts of weird things with your wrist to look at it, though.

Actually I went in to look at more of the raw images of this coin and found that on all, but I also found it on the next two coins I shot, a Morgan dollar and a counterfeit (?) Trade dollar Pattern. So I'm guessing it was on the camera lens. In any event, it wasn't on the coin and I should have edited it out. Ohh well, no big deal. Here is another image of the reverse. Presumably you can figure out the variety by this. Maybe?  |

JohnJ, Here is the pic I took to follow the 1826 HC. It shows that same whitish streaks. I remember having trouble with my photography at that show for reasons I no longer remember. May have forget something at home. This shot came out pretty bad. Looks like a lamination but is actually a strike through. Weight is right on for a dollar. Submitted by Vic West.  |

That actually reminds me of a shot using overhead lighting by intent, with a table viewing lamp also aimed at the coin maybe accidentally. Yellowish light from about 2:00 and high.

Dave, you know, I could have been positioned right under a bright florescent light. I usually get positioned right in the first row up front near the door. This may have been the time I was the first table facing the door.

C-1 with the point of leaf past right of the last S of STATES and C-2 with it just rght of the center of the S. This is C-1 as Johnjkedal said. I believe both 1826 varieties commonly come with rotations of various amounts. Edited by Conder101

Your equipment is obviously good enough not to care much about overhead lighting, and the yellow parts which concern us both probably aren't how unintended fluorescent lights will intrude themselves into the shot. Just noodling the reason for that yellow, and it might not be the lighting at all. |

Condor101,
Now I know what C-1 means! I wondered what he meant by that. I know very little about EA.

The C stands for Cohen after Roger Cohen who wrote what became the standard reference for them (Little Half Sisters) in I believe 1968 (Second edition in 1971) Before Cohen they were known by G or Gilbert numbers from a 1916 reference. Breens book gave the series new B numbers but the collecting community continues to use the C numbers.
