BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 2:17 pm I see a Half Dime on ebay that claims to be an 1837/7 overdate. Looks legit, but I wanted to hear all your opinions about the coin and the grade, and how much I should offer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Choice-AU-1...AOSwJcZWfIMe Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 2:33 pm I don't think so about the cleaning, but I appreciate the grading. Did you have any comment on the 7/7 claim? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 3:22 pm No expert -- but I don't see a 7/7. That raised area below the 7 doesn't look right for that. This one has the same 'ding'. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1837-Capped...ht_532wt_991 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 3:47 pm Agree EF-45. Don't know enough about the series to recognize a possible overdate here. Report this Post to the Staff

johntookit Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 5:03 pm I would pass on this coin. It is a 1837 LM-1( R-1 common die marriage) everything match up: OBV. 7 strongly repunched at bottom, s1 through s13 are all correct. REV. U closer to wing, ED close, TA close, T3 above E2 and C2 four times closer to stem. The sellers- make an offer- starts at $360 and I would be at around $220 - $240 tops. The coin is in AU but has the possibility of getting a detail grade. Try the HA.com or Stack's auction that is coming up in a week or two (NY and the FUN auction). Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 5:07 pm It will be details because of the cleaning (halo around stars) and the huge face hits Report this Post to the Staff

LocalCoinGuy Valued Member United States 398 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 10:10 pm Nice piece but I do suspect some, let's call it "tampering" with the surface ..... Maybe not and I'm 110% off-base ..... Question is what does your eye see and are you buying for collection or as an investment - cause if investment, the price is too high .... Best of luck! Report this Post to the Staff
