paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:11 pm Another late night ebay impulse buy from last week. 1817 Matron Head LC, N-12 R-4 (in my opinion), 13 stars. I'm a sucker for dark chocolate, even smooth dark chocolate, and the die issues on the date are just an extra topping of whipped cream. My scanned pictures: Seller's pics: Grade and attribution check would be appreciated, please, if some of the EAC experts would be so kind. :) Will it make an AG? (White specks are dust, not on the surfaces.) Thank you for reading.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:24 pm I think it makes AG, and I agree with N-12, unless another date looks like that. Not sure of the rarity, but Celtic 'might' say, 'at that low grade there's no premium for rarity.' Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 10:31 pm I never buy to resell (no offense to dealers and sellers) -- once they're home with me, they stay there. That's why even the "ugly" ones get album slots. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 12:13 am Middle dates are a lot easier to grade than Briaded Hairs and usually the die varieties are apparent. I'm on my phone so I can't comment on the Newcomb number. As far as grade I would say it's a solid EAC 3. The rims are too far gone to make G-4. As Ed said I believe that the low grade will hold back any premium for it being an R.4. Variety collectors really shoot for VF and above.
