This baby arrived today. I adjusted the seller's pictures to better show the true coin. The luster is far better than shown in the pictures. I am happy to say the overall coin in hand is also better than shown in the pictures. Enjoy.image

    I love the overdate busty coins.

    I really don't keep up with the *overdates*, but what was the cause for so many to happen at the mints?

    Hey, now that's what I'm talkin' bout. I especially like this variety of the overdate that clearly shows the nine inside the 0. image

    Just think of all the people who may have been tempted to clean that coin over the years.

    Very interesting!! I am in the process of buying a small bustie collection from the midwest....One of the coins is an old green label PCGS XF40 O-102 1820/19.

    Yours is higher grade for sure....a very tough coin!!

    Yes, My coin is a higher grade than XF40. I do agree, the 1820/19 Curl 2 is hard to find. This coin I pictured is only the second 1820/19 Curl 2 I have ever owned. My other one was purchased back in 1993, when an 1820 collector disposed of his hoard of around forty 1820 AUs. Now I wish I would have bought everything he had, of course my wife would have left me.image
