Just picked up this beauty. Aside from the luster dropping off both sides of my new best friend, check out the clashing. You can make out the letters of EPU as well as the ribbon above the date. I know some here have said that the 1820/19 is their favorite O/D bustie, but I always thought the 1817/3 was right up there.

    very, very cool coin image

    this is one of my favorite overdates in the series, so obviously no attempt made to disguise the underlying digit and so far apart! (4 years!)

    I like this over-date very much. At one time I was looking for one, but never found one that fit my taste. I have since changed my collecting focus and no longer seek one of these. But I can sure appreciate you showing one.image

    Overdates are cool, nice clashing as well.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I have been looking for one of these in this grade for a while now. It has found a nice home for a long time to come. Now off to the safe box with this one.

    That is true, why heck- I hope the grade doesn't go down while I'm storing her.

    Nice buy.image

    The 1817/3 is my favorite overdate. It is soooo easy to see the 3 without a lens, even on very low grades.

    Extensive clashing is usually present, much as it is on your pictured coin. On the reverse, there generally is a crack through ME and around clockwise just past the first olive leaves to rim. This makes the a-variety. I believe the a-variety is much more common than the prime without this reverse crack.

    On the obverse there are several pronounced die lumps. One is at one o'clock between the cap and rim above star 8, another below bottom star 13 on the right. The lumps are present on the majority of 1817/3s.

    Contrary to what others have recommended, I would definitely submit this coin to PCGS/NGC. You have quite a bit of money in this coin.



    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Mozin, and your point is? I still don't see any kind of recommendation whatsoever.imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage Except yours!!! I asked a question BTW.

    Edit to add, but I do respect you for your knowledge on these Bust halves, and I truly mean that.

    Anyone want to venture a grade on this one?

    So long as the coin has no problems not shown in the pictures, I think NGC would normally grade this XF45, and PCGS would say XF40.

    Edited to add: If there is no luster, the grades could drop by 5 points.image Even an NGC XF40 1817/3 is a hard coin to find.image

    Very cool coin- perhaps vf35 or ef40?
