1817/3 CBH PCGS VF30 O.101a (ON HOLD)

**** ON HOLD PENDING PAYMENT ****

1817/3 bust half in PCGS VF30. This coin is part of my personal collection but I upgraded so this one must go. If it doesn't sell here it will become part of Sheridan Downey's mail/bid auction at the Jan 2015 FUN show.

The coin has a nice original look, unspoiled skin with an attractive crust, and pleasant color. It is the O.101a, R2.

The 1817/3 is a very popular overdate, as the underlying 3 is patently visible on the lone die marriage. The presence of the reverse die crack, from M in AMERICA through the denomination and up along UNITED, is what distinguishes this later die state. It is relatively scarce in all grades and downright difficult in grades above VF. Weak strikes are common in the usual difficult locations: eagle's left wing, head and beak, the obverse center. Even Liberty's profile is known to be poorly struck.

Purchased from Stacks on Jan 29, 2013 for $902.11. For sale here at $850 firm. Check, money order accepted. PayPal add 3%. Free shipping, 7 day return privilege (buyer pays return shipping).

First to commit gets it.
Lance.
