Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 08/22/2017 12:40 am I'm trying to figure out whether my 1832 CBH is a large letter, or small letter, and from there any Overton number. I noticed the 'A' in STATES is barely there, and PLURIBUS is missing the URI (or 95% of it). The ribbon is also thinner, not as high in that area. Initially, I wrote it off as wear, but now I'm thinking it was Struck Through Grease. Opinions? On the obverse I'm noticing what I think is MD along the left of Liberty's profile, at her hair, and then from her nose down to her neck. There's also a nice Cud on the reverse. Those got me looking into the O-numbers. Is there a '32 DDO, or is it MD? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
