in U.S. Coin Forum

Bought a mini hoard of CBH from an area collector today. My friend and I are going to,”ATTEMPT” to assign Overton numbers to each Coin.

Thought it would be fun for you guys/gals to help as well.

I will be posting our results over the next couple of weeks.. and hopefully the members can either agree or shoot me down, again!

Will post individual coins, if anyone wants to get a head start.

Pics incoming

    That is going to be a lot of fun. I agree with TomB about taking individual pictures.

    Good luck and have fun! If you want the help from online folks, you should provide straight-on images of both obverse and reverse of each coin and, preferably, take them out of the 2x2 holders first.

    Thanks Tom,
    I plan on posting my findings slowly, that’s why I haven’t posted Obverse/Reverse pics.

    Once we get a few done I will take individual pics and look for approval.

    So my friend and I completed our Overton Numbering yesterday.

    We had the 16 CBH and I believe it took us around 3 hours. We used the Overton book on Early Halves

    I think we got 8-9/16 and some we could not figure out, the reason could possibly be the coin was in too low of a grade or just laziness.. possibly both 😟

    Learning the Lingo was a lot of fun, A/A A to the Arrows, center dot, scalloped stars ect.

    We also sped up a little bit once we recognized that many of the coins share reverses🤪


    This was one that we were hoping a forum member could confirm as a
    O-101

    Low grade, so tough to say

    need to see the entire coin to be certain, but just from the portion shown I would say 107 or 105. Don't think it's 101.

    Edit to add...Would love to be wrong, though.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
