My holiday present came a little late this year..........a new 1814 CBH for my collection.

I am very happy to have picked this beauty up just before the holidays last year............. however, it looks like my present just arrived today as I got my PCGS results a little while ago.

Comments and guesses as to its grade/variety are welcome..........ENJOY!!!!!

Wow, Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your 1814 has it all!!!!

drddm · January 11, 2012 12:18PM

Thanks Winston, clashmarks are usually present on the late die state of this variety....which only adds to its eye appeal in my opinion.

ClosedLoop · January 11, 2012 12:21PM

Wow very nice.

MS62

what's behind her head?

die clash, flow lines?

fishteeth · January 11, 2012 12:28PM

Great coin, I have her ugly sister who must have been struck right about the same time. (similar die state)

drddm · January 11, 2012 12:31PM

Thanks Chris.

And yours is far from ugly, she's got quite a bit of character, I like her.

BaseballAbs · January 11, 2012 12:32PM

That is pretty!

AnkurJ · January 11, 2012 1:04PM

Awesome clashing! Very nice!

drddm · January 11, 2012 1:52PM

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I am quite fond of this one and think it will fit in very nicely with the rest of my set.

This variety usually comes weakly struck on the reverse left wing and eagles head/neck region, however NOT this one, which IMO makes her even more special.

deltadimeman · January 11, 2012 6:51PM

bosco5041 · January 11, 2012 8:50PM

Nice coin, I love the old classics.

tydye · January 11, 2012 9:30PM

That is the nicest 1814 E/A I have ever seen!

Frozenink · January 11, 2012 9:37PM

Dave,

Outstanding. If I had your source for CBHI would have never started a type set. Who ever it is has a great eye for these just like you.

The big guy says you are welcome

and I say I like it. Congrats.

Mike

drddm · January 11, 2012 11:22PM

Thank you again everyone. Your kind words are most appreciated.

I had to do a double take when I first saw this coin as the strike for this varety is just NEVER seen like this.

STONE · January 11, 2012 11:26PM

<< <i>I had to do a double take when I first saw this coin as the strike for this varety is just NEVER seen like this. >>

You are QUITE right. And on top of that each additional clash should reduce the strike sharpness.

So what you have here is a really phenomenal coin

drddm · January 11, 2012 11:35PM

Thanks Winston, I never thought about that, but yes, that is true.

drddm · January 12, 2012 10:31AM

For the evening crew.......

tydye · January 12, 2012 10:34AM

I wish I kept a picture of it. But someone on these boards about 4-5 years ago had a very late die state 1813 with awesome color. It would be the perfect mate for your 1814.

kaz · January 12, 2012 10:39AM

That is a phenomenally beautiful and intriguing coin. I have nothing that comes close.

tydye · January 12, 2012 10:41AM

My 1814 E/A has always been one of my favorite coins. But I would drill a hole in it and flip to LordM at the next show if I had yours

habaraca · January 12, 2012 10:48AM

YIPES....

Brings tears to my eyes....

I cheated on the grade........ nice upgrade

drddm · January 12, 2012 11:45AM

Would have loved to see that 1813 you are talking about Mike, too bad you didn't save the pic.

To be honest, I have always liked your 1814 E/A PCGS AU50, it has just the right amount of nice toning and great eye appeal IMO.

Wanna trade

LOL!

Your coin is another beauty!

relicsncoins · January 12, 2012 12:43PM

Fantastic........Love the clashing.

JRocco · January 12, 2012 1:08PM

What a beautiful coin DDM.
That is one heck of a strike. The bird never looks that good on this variety.
This coin has a pinch of wear but I bet they call her a low MS as a butt slap for her strike.
This coin would liven up any collection.

GAB · January 12, 2012 1:40PM

Very cool coin

It sure looks MS to me!

I really don't get why that strike is so good??

It almost looks like the die were domed, since the middle strike is so
strong, while the stars are very heavily drawn out to the rim.

Did lapping cause that? I presume they tried to minimize the affect of
the clashes by lapping (several times).

drddm · January 12, 2012 2:28PM

Thank you once again everyone for all the compliments.

This 1814 CBH happens to be the O-108a E/A Variety and is graded MS61 by PCGS.......pop 1/3.

My holiday present came a little late this year..........a new 1814 CBH for my collection.
