Saturday guess the Grade and Overton - 1818

[jtryka]

Here is another one, and since this one is entombed, I guess there is a "right" answer on the grade, but guess the Overton variety as well!

EF-40. I'm in Charleston, so my Overton book is about a thousand miles away right now.

In my next life, I want to meet with Mr. Overton and work with him to rewrite the book to include LARGER PICTURES. (Yea...me...taking pictures...that's a good one!!) So many of the details he mentions in his descriptions are not visible in the photographs so they can't be compared with a photo.

 

So now were at the 1818. I don't think I got the first 2 Bust half Overtons right so what the Hell, may as go for 100% wrong. Tryka, next time you buy busties...can you stuck to the years that have less than 200 varieties!?!?!?!

 

Grade...somewhere between XF 45 and AU 50. Variety...here we go again.......How about O-107? The first T in STATES, slanting to the left...is good clue (won't I feel dumb if I get it wrong...but at least I'd be consistent!!)

I think this one would normally go PCGS 45, except the obverse hits would drop it to PCGS 40.

Sadly, Mr. Overton passed away in 1972 so that meeting will have to wait. Several members of the Bust Half Nut Club are now talking about a new book closer to what Steve Tompkins did for early quarters. IF it happens, it will be years in the making.

Well, RI AL, you know what they say about blind pigs and acorns! I bought this one as an O-107, and I agree with the attribution. And, drumroll please, PCGS graded it as EF-45. Thanks for playing everyone!

107 and it should be a 45. But these have shallow strikes and if there is a good amount of luster I could see it as an AU.
