Just curious if this is a more uncommon obverse. The 9/7 is there of course, but there is also a 2/2 on this one. A broken star on the left of her face is also noticable. Not an expert in this field so I appreciate you
input and any other observations or comments. I will post the best pics I can...thanks!

I can't be certain, but seems to come to mind.
<< <i>I think I have seen posted here before that the 1829/7 actually has all digits repunched.

That is correct. The whole date was repunched and the nine was hand carved. The original 2 was a square base and the one punched over was a curl base.

edited to add this could be the o-102 variety with the lapping of the die breaking the arrow shafts. Not an expert still crawling.
The coin looks cleaned. But you probably know that.

this up on Ebay (wasn't identified by the seller as an overdate) and thought I'd pick some brains. One of my favorite designs but will be only able to collect the lower grades occasionally. Thanks again for all of
your input and enlightenment.
p.s. I showed it to my local b & m and he didn't think it was problematical (i.e. cleaning, damage, etc.) I certainly can't see any major issues through my loupe, but would always defer to an experts opinion.
I see this grading in the the xf40 range.....how close am I ?
If someone you trust gave it a thumbs up you should take it to the bank. I think XF40 is pretty close.
Are you going to submit it for grading? Let us know how it goes. I hope you hit a home run!
