New Bicentennial Guess the Grade and Overton!!!

[jtryka]

Ok, picked this one up today at a coin show, I liked the strike and the luster/toning along the edge. So let me know your thoughts on the Overton and grade!

Very nice Jeff. (thumbs u

I would say Overton 106a with the flattened rim (Obverse 5, Reverse F). It is rated as an R-3.

 

As to the grade, I'd go with VF-30. I know the coin has some luster hidden luster in the protected area of letters, but the detail is not there to call this an EF.

I agree with Bill on both counts. Very nice one Jeff.

[L1ncolnF4n]

VF-35ish

[No+4Me]

Nice! I agree with vf-30, nice detail above the brow, some luster, and good details on the eagle's neck. No idea on overton #, though.

If the missing details is strike related, this may make a 45 at the grading services...hard to tell for certain from the pics, but I would say this is closer to AU than VF.

Thanks everyone, Dave, do you agree with this being an O-106a? I was sort of torn between the 106a and the 110, but leaning toward the former.

[MBA101]

I am in the 106 camp...

[okbustchaser]

It's 106--probably the a die state.

 

An interesting little tidbit about attributing 1810s...

 

The upper inner point of star 13 is scalloped on the O-105 DM, the O-108 DM, and the O-110 DM. The outside point of star 13 is scalloped on the other die marriages.

Ok, here is NGC's opinion on this one: O-106a, VF Details, Improperly Cleaned

 

Once again, we'll have to agree to disagree...
