kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 09:19 am It's a Cohen-1 (C-1). Has to be because that's the only die variety for 1834. But the Die State is causing me difficulty. Can't tell whether it's a DS 2.0 or 3.0. Right now I'm leaning towards a 2.0. The rough surface on the reverse is not mentioned in Manley's book. A big part of the condition is that the reverse was used to strike 1833 Half Cents also. If it grades VF then you matched the catalog value. Of course an XF grade means you beat catalog by about $30.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36916 Posts	Posted 04/26/2020 2:21 pm I think this one will pull and EF-45. Lots of hair detail and sharp leaves reverse. Surfaces may be an issue though. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18825 Posts	Posted 04/27/2020 10:36 am I think it makes XF45 also. eye appeal not the best and looking at the reverse under everything it has that rainbow look which in a lot of cases is an indication of cleaning and retoning and the reverse fields appear to have a light corrosion throughout. the coin may details due to these Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 1:41 pm This came in. Happy that reverse looks much better than seller's pics. The reverse dies look like they may have been rusted given some of the pimples in the reverse impression. For example under the E in AMERICA. Thoughts? Thanks!
