Paul St Louis Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 06/02/2024 2:00 pm KM 45 Copper 28mm 10.4g (slightly underweight) The '2' and the '0' in date really concerns me. Simply doesn't look right. Could this be the 1820/19? Normally, I would be inclined to grade F12, but I am thinking VG10 is the highest I can grade, due to large obverse Gouge, Porosity, Rim Wear and Dirt. I find the dirty reverse troublesome, particularly around 'United'. Is it dirt, or is it a poorly casted fake? I have been graced with the opportunity to buy a fine collection of a friend's father who recently passed. He took coin collecting very seriously, as I. For the first time in my life I now have several excellent examples of Draped Bust, Classic Head, Coronet, And Braided Hair, in both 1/2 cents and cents. Needless to say, I'm feeling a little giddy about it all. Report this Post to the Staff

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 06/02/2024 7:07 pm It looks genuine, just corroded. This looks like the 1820/19 Newcomb-2 small overdate die variety. Pictures of the date are a little blurry, so certainly not 100%. PCGS and NGC and other sites have pictures of die varieties, so you can check it out yourself. Agree, it looks VG details.

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 655 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 6:57 pm Is is the 20 over 19. I had one in hand last week, in my opinion about AU50. Very nice coin when it good shape. Almost sorry I dropped out of the auction. The 1 under the 2 was exactly like this one. Report this Post to the Staff
