edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 10:13 pm I don't have one and saw it at the last second and pulled the trigger. Looks like a 1820/19 with the line in the center of the 2. Not sure, and not sure if I overpaid, but didn't have much time to research. Only found the auction with 38 seconds left and my coin budget is topped out. Guess I can dig up another $19 somewhere. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1820-US-Lar...047675.l2557 Edited by edweather 10/04/2015 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 10:37 pm It looks good to me. I enlarged the coin here at home on my good computer. I think it is 1820/19. you'll have to post pics when you get it. Hopefully this guy's not laid up in bed and ships it out right away. Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 06:41 am Notice how the '1' incrementally shifts its location toward the right from N1 to N3. The N1 is the only variant where the '9' is virtually absent around the '0': both inside or outside of its outline. Also, depending upon inherent wear patterns ebay cherrypicking an 1820/19 could prove to be tricky if the variety is an N3 since its vertical part of the '1' appears to be situated somewhat close to the descending portion of the '2'. So always double-check for the outward bulge at seven o'clock on the '0' to avoid missing the boat. Report this Post to the Staff
