Recently, on ebay (ebay # 2205548347) I saw this Maris 34-J, listed
as a coin from the UK,.........immediately, I emailed the seller with
an offer, he accepted and stopped the auction. Today, I recieved the
coin,..fantastic, despite a tiny hole at 12 obverse, no doubt for
suspension,..........the coin itself grades obverse EXTRA FINE with a
FINE-VERY FINE reverse. Now, the obverse die state is late possibly
terminal for these reasons. 1.) die break from rim to "V" in NOVA.
2.) Die break from swingletree to rim,.......the die break so
intense,.it mounds beneath this break. 3.) Heavy massive die break
from rim at 6 position, up through the "8" in 1787 to plough-share.
I have several Deerheads, but this die state is so heavy,......I do
not believe it to be listed in Toms book,....however, I could be
wrong for I do not have Toms book on the Die States.
What I can see on this specimen and cannot on anyother is that
beneath the first "7" of 1787,........there is a die break in the
form of the top part of the "8",..............I am thinking, what is
the chance that this may be a obverse 35 overdate! I have compared to
all of my obverse 34's,...7 of them plus through auction photographs
and am unable to see anyother similarities beneath the
first "7",..........I mention it as a "die break" because I am
unsure that a overdate in this die state could exist.
CAN ANYBODY ANSWER THIS OR DOES ANYONE HAVE AN OPINION ON THIS.
THANK YOU
MARIO
