Just a guess. BB-154, B-18

Maybe 20 for the grade.

BB-165, B-8
or
BB-163, B-10

VF-30

Heck of a coin!

Nice crust. Clouds seem a tad flat but I am inclined to agree that she's about a 30.

Can't be sure, but it looks to be from either Foshan or Guangzhou, both in the Guangdong province.

My only comment is I absolutely love the look of that coin. Gorgeous!

'Tis a magnificent looking coin. Are those adjustment marks on the obverse?

They add to the coolness factor in my opinion.

AHhh, you tricked us. Can't see the overdate in this image & infact it looked like no overdate.
This is a tricky one with all the variables I can't see, but guessing it is,,,B-2, BB-143, R-3

Looks to be a very nice example. Adjustment marks don't bother me at all. Now if they were across the face they might. Very nice looker that looks to be at least a 40.
I don't see much wear, just a bit softly struck in some areas.

Correction, this is a 1799 irregular date 13 stars.....not an overdate. pcgs 45...pop 5/8

Trying to trick us again??

I am not an expert and hope one of the Dollar guys will offer some input, but
for what it's worth,,,I don't feel this is an "irregular date" and if you look close
are there small spurs under the loop of the 9's?

I think this is a B-10, BB-163, R-1
with 7 x 6, normal date, 5 berries, obv small lower stars, small motto rev with
a U with both serifs and the star touches the lower beak. May be in mid die state B
with that crack going through "OF". Can't make out any other lumps, dots, cracks, etc.
to tell further.
Is it in a chinese slab?

SomeGuyFromMichigan · July 26, 2008 1:48PM

I have to agree with LoveMyLiberty that it's is indeed a BB-163, B-10, R-1
Looks like a nice 45 to me.
