Re-Imaged one of my favorite DBH's, 1806/5

8 posts in this topic

This one has been tough to image, but I think I got it figured out. This die state is more scarce than advertised, and I would not be shocked if it really is an R5 or R6 (a heavy crack needs to be present both obverse and reverse)

 

1806/5 O-103a

 

All the history is still present on this coin...and this is basically what it looks like in hand

Dave,

 

Beautiful DBH. Very original and sweet skin. All diagnostics are present for O103a. It's a O103a. Regarding your reference to heavy die cracks, are you saying that the LDS should be considered as a R5 or R6 rather than R2?

Die cracks both obverse and reverse seem to be what is rare. Finding

Lds examples without the reverse crack are more common. But both cracks are needed for the a die state.
