picc Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 09/14/2015 8:46 pm The edge of this coin is not visible due to the NGC holder it is in. Does anyone know if there are any other diagnostics to tell which edge this is? I want to re-slab it if it's a scarcer edge variety. Thanks! (It's graded XF45 by NGC currently) * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling.

parepidemos New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 09/14/2015 10:40 pm Your coin appears to be O-102. According to Overton, O-102 GENERALLY comes with theXXX edge, which is the most desirable of the group. The coin has been cleaned and has some light scratches which COULD get it body bagged if resubmitted. Crapshoot but I think I would try it, especially if you have a dealer close by that submits lots of coins to NGC. Downside, that edge has always brought a premium, so why wasn't it noted on this current slab? Food for thought. Report this Post to the Staff

It probably won't get the edge design designation on the label but the edge can be seen so put the designation on your own sticker on the holder. Report this Post to the Staff

It surprisingly doesn't have the xxx edge even though it has reverse A. How is this possible? Is there a die marriage with this reverse that is not xxx edge? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
