indian_hoarder Pillar of the Community United States 5079 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 03:44 am Have a few CBHs I'm submitting for opinions. Sorry for any weirdness in photos - the backgrounds got removed while trying to reduce file size - none of these are damaged on the rim. Looking for: Grade Overton variety if you know Will it straight grade? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 09:12 am Whew, the last one. Based on these pictures, I don't see any luster remaining on the coin. With that said, I think that it misses out on AU, landing at XF-45. Once again, an old cleaning and retoning wouldn't surprise. Report this Post to the Staff

smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 1:57 pm The pictures may not help attributing some of your coins because some of the markers are tiny. You can have some fun attributing the CBHD's yourself. Go look at this web page: http://maibockaddict.com Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 11:35 pm I concur with the others, XF-45 was my initial thought. Very appealing piece as the reverse dentils are present. The 1836 and 1837 reeded edge halves seem to wear quickly on the reverse, erasing the letters of the legend. This variety is the 1833 O-108 R-1. This series is not attributed using Overton numbers, but Graham-Reiver (GR) numbers. As far as I know, there is no online site to attribute these coins, and the book written by Dick Graham is hard to come by. The maibockaddict website does not attribute the GR numbers of 1836-1839.
