If anyone has a 64th Edition of the Charlton, could you check this Double Punch out and make sure I have the right one . This is the one I think it is: p.407, Coin 21 ( Double Punch, Normal Date ) . Obverse is OF2 and the Reverse is RF8 . Marker for Reverse: Re-engraved Bough With One Break .

    I'm not sure. In that grade you should be able to see the doubled upper lip and chin. It does look like the broken bough variety. Note: I think there are a few typo's in the catalogue. Some are called RF7 at the photo with RF8 at the pricing and one is noted ad RF9. There were 38 obverse dies and 15 reverses. You may have a die marriage not shown in Charlton.

    I'm not sure about which one exactly, but I know it's a Double Punch for sure .
    It also has the High Zero in the date too .

    just can not determine the doubled upper lip it should have.
    send it to ICCS. but then, it might not be worth grading?

    It doesn't look like it. It would be a waste to send it in for TPG .. the cost of the cert will be more than 50% of what the coin is (or would be) worth. By "worth" I mean what you could sell it for, not what a book says that is retail.

    After looking closer at the book and the coin, it's 0n p.406 of the 64th Edition of the Charlton . Obverse is OF2 according to the book and the reverse is RF7, according to the book . Here's some new images too .

    I also only paid $13.52 cents for the coin .

    I know it's a double punch and next month I'll be at the Coneca table, guess Ken will have to photo it .. My 2MP doesn't get the job done on this tiny coin ( lip ) .....
