Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6390 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 1:20 pm I bought this coin in 2002 and am trying to improve my photos of it. Based on these new images how would you call the grade? It's a certified piece in an old small ANACS holder. Brownie points if you ID the Overton variety. It should be easy since the main marker is extremely obvious. Report this Post to the Staff

peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 2:25 pm Really torn on the grade, XF-45 to AU Details, I really cannot tell if it is just that weak of a strike, will look forward to other opinions and the ANACS Grade... but should be late die state Overton 120a Pointed 6 Edited by peaece13 05/21/2015 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 2:48 pm Nice coin! I am leaning toward AU50 with regards to detail, and some luster is apparent around the periphery. What I have trouble with is the toning. Difficult to judge from the photo. I believe this variety used to be called the 'Broken Patch on Shield' ? This variety was one of the first DBHDs I bought for my collection - it turned out to have some damaged that I overlooked. Edited by GERMANICVS 05/21/2015 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 05/21/2015 6:08 pm Fascinating coin!! Quote: ...should be late die state Overton 120a... ebay has 3 other O-120a 1806 DBHs for sale, for comparison. They all have the Cud noted here but in varying degrees. The O-120a reverse die cracks and the Pointed 6 with Stem through Claw on the reverse narrows the Overton down fairly quickly. Report this Post to the Staff
