indian_hoarder Pillar of the Community United States 5079 Posts	Posted 08/22/2024 10:43 pm Looking for opinions on grade and Overton variety. This one I believe is the Square Base 2, unsure of the Overton. Photo lighting and skills are poor, so keep that in mind. Most of these I am posting today appear perfectly original. Also, for the Overton experts, please provide an opinion also on the premium - the PCGS guides barely show any having a premium. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/23/2024 12:36 pm Whew, this coin is set apart from the others! It is an O-101 R-1, and a coin that starts to command hefty premiums in the choice EF and higher grades. AU-55 lightly wiped, may or may not straight grade. There is some flatness in the rim on the lower obverse and upper reverse, so I would inspect the edge to see if there is anything fun going on with the edge lettering. Suffering from bust half fever.

The edge lettering is nearly non-existent. I'd take a picture, but I already suck at that and it just looks 90% around the circumference like a regular flat rim and only 10% or so of the coin has the faintest hint of lettering. Does that warrant anything special or even classify as a mint error? If I were to send this in should I even note it? If it were a modern, it would probably classify like a golden dollar "missing edge lettering". Edited by indian_hoarder 08/23/2024 4:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/23/2024 5:22 pm It technically does qualify as a mint error, although it is not collected by many people. I can count on one hand how many people I know that are interested in edge lettering errors including myself. I know PCGS and NGC can slab doubled edge lettering or missing edge lettering but I am unsure what they'll say about mostly gone edge lettering. Suffering from bust half fever.
