syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/08/2016 11:00 pm I found this decent looking 1809 half to fill out my set. The seller claims it is a XXX edge. However it seems to clearly be an O-111 plain edge or maybe maybe an O-111A which supposedly has some with a III edge. But in any case not an XXX edge. Note the prominent die defect at the lower curl on the obverse and the centering dot in the 5th crossbar on the reverse. Is there an XXX variety that fits this coin or is he trying to goose the price? Report this Post to the Staff

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 1:52 pm Nothing. No attribution on the label. You would think if it was XXXXX the submitter would have paid for the attribution. Report this Post to the Staff

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/09/2016 10:02 pm It certainly is nice but priced a bit too high for a plain 1809. If it were an IIII or XXXXX and I would jump on it. Report this Post to the Staff
Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 08/11/2016 7:43 pm Is this on ebay? If so, buy it and if it doesn't have the XXX return it as a "not as described". He will have to refund your money either by choice or by ebay forcing him to. Report this Post to the Staff
