numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10873 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 8:12 pm Had my eye on this one. It was bid to $55 + $3.50 shipping. Was thinking on bidding $66 + shipping but didn't pull the trigger because I had some concern about authenticity. Ended up selling for $58 + sh so I probably could have picked it up. Thoughts on grade, and problems (especially authenticity)? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 10873 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 8:21 pm main concern is the reverse rim bleeding into the lettering... off-center strike in a collarless press? Edited by numismatic student 05/28/2019 8:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

" That seems to be a common occurrence when the dies are severely worn. It is called 'die flow' and results, from what I have read', in the edge legend 'flowing' into the rims. You can see something very similar in this 1812 S-289 in my collection: Report this Post to the Staff
