bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 12/11/2008 07:39 am I just picked these babies up from my dealer. I saw them in his case about 5 months ago and had them put on layaway after we dickered over the price a bit. I just wonder if those stars are weak, or the first signs of wear I really love the die cracks in this coin. they provide so much character. Report this Post to the Staff

The left ear of corn on the reverse is usually weak too. Report this Post to the Staff

Very nice coins, though I wouldn't consider what he has a spare. One is a "cents" and one has "no cents". The no cent variant is easy to find in that grade, but the "cents" is quite tough and probably cost considerably more. Report this Post to the Staff
