jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3703 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 2:08 pm Unfortunately... not a starred reverse. Here is a reverse of a genuine S-48. Note the spacing of the RIC in AMERICA to confirm. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/03/2025 4:18 pm Not even close to the correct reverse. Just a quick look at "CENT" gives it away. Report this Post to the Staff
aboarman Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 01/04/2025 12:45 am Thank you all - I was able to cancel. It was pretty stupid to think that a coin of which maybe 60-70 exist would be listed like that. I just wasn't thinking about how unlikely it was. Report this Post to the Staff

I beg to disagee! Even though you failed to hit the bullseye this time, I'd encourage you to keep up the search. Over the years, I've managed to cherrypick a few NC (non-collectible) large cents from dealers. Indeed, many of my best buys have come from dealers and auctions. To desist in your hunt would be "stupid" methinks. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 70318 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 09:41 am Well I'm glad you were able to cancel that purchase. This coin is above my head, so I ask this question about it - what is the 'Starred' reverse compared to a 'normal' one? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 47/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff

Had to look it up as this is new to me. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...erse-bn/1374 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5479 Posts	Posted 01/07/2025 07:40 am Well done getting the sale cancelled. Is it just me or does the coin in question look to be cast? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 01/07/2025 07:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
