Nice coin you have there. Always good to see one that looks like it should after 193 years. I would grade it VF-20. Can't help you on the Overton number. laugh.gif

Without my book, will take a wild guess at an O-109. Looks like great VF 30ish that you could make a great cherry pie out of! grin.gif

 

Why people like these dipped, I will never understand. makepoint.gif

I agree. They should be hammered in the head insane.gif

Although I distinctly dislike dipped CBHs, I do believe it is better than hammering the CBH in the head since that would leave more damage. What do you think? 893scratchchin-thumb.gifwink.gif893whatthe.gifinsane.gif

Hi, Everyone

 

Thank you all for the encouraging words about my new CBH addition to my collection. cloud9.gif

 

MBA101 was right on, an O-109 thumbsup2.gif, it was bought raw from Osburn as a VF35. I like the crustyness of this coin very much! grin.gif

 

By the way, I highly recommend Osburn, I have always had very nice trasactions with him throught his web site as well as in person at coin shows. One of the great CBH specialist retailers out there for the collector.
