    If it's not an 1817/4, it isn't special image

    Nice coin!

    I would have been in Hagerstown today if it hadn't been for the on and off heavy rain I was facing until late this afternoon. Will probably make it there tomorrow. Anyone know what time it opens on Sunday?

    Cherrypicked an R4 Bustie, eh? I guess that's always a neat thing! Tell me though, do you have a photogenic memory, or do you carry a portable quick reference guide to the show?

    I do have a good memory & I have a laptop with the Digital RAG (Rapid Atribution Guide) by Edgar Souders installed on it & a Dino-Lite microscope.

    Funny story about this coin, it was marked 1817 Bust Half O-106a R-5.

    I told the Dealer, I'll take it. Then I got out my laptop and looked it up, dealer asks do I have it attributed correct? I said you got the overton number right but its an R4 not an R5, but I'll take it.

    Nice find!

    Hagerstown is where we always stop the night before the baltimore shows (we drive from columbus, OH) so when i saw the thread i got a little laugh!
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!
