THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION


Here is a photo of an 1807 I have. It has all the characteristics of O-108 even the die crack from star 13 to the bust drapery. The base of R in LIBERTY is different than any I have seen. I checked the Heritage website and all of the bases of the R are straight across and not curvy like this one. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    What about the base of the R. Are they not a different style?

    The term for this effect is Bifurcation. It is due to the result of metal flow. Also known as bifurcated letters.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
