edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7376 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 5:05 pm Must be an 1852 day. This is an N-9, but I'm not sure on the grade, or what causes the area around near the rim/denticles to looked mushed down like that? Is this a late die state? Only paid $12, and it's a bit of an upgrade for the poor example currently filling the hole. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Ed Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 7:21 pm A very late die state. The die has lost its basining. When dies are new they are a bit concave to help metal flow and as dies get worn they wear on the edges more than the center. As far as grade I'll say VF-35 sharpness net graded to VF-20 for the die wear. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7376 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 01:07 am Thanks for the replies. Celtic, thanks for the info on the dies. I'm happy with the grades. Jerry you did your homework. The N-22 is the sister die pair to the N-9, and was on the final list. Mine has the remnants of the 4 small die cracks which nail it down as an N-9. I was confused until I saw the cracks, and then it was a done deal. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 01:41 am right you are Ed. Grellmans has N-22 for this coin in earlier die state and N-9 in later state. Did not notice that until I looked for N-9 in book and its under N-22 page. Edited by jerryc39 05/23/2015 01:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
