Re: 1830 Capped Bust Half Dollar, Type 1, Lettered Edge, "Small 0"

Sorry I cannot help with the Overton variety....but what I can help with is below: Let me start at the bottom: 4. Based on the pictures, would it be worth using E-Z-est to 'clean' the coin? I know this is a contentious topic...so to be clear, I mean dip the coin in e-Z-est for a few seconds, use a r...

The numerical Overton designation you are seeking, can only be assigned by "In Hand" inspection,… by an individual who has years of experience as an attributer.

Re: 1830 Capped Bust Half Dollar, Type 1, Lettered Edge, "Small 0"

What you've got there appears to be an XF coin to me - or higher! I would be petrified of any attempts you may indulge with the level of inexperience you preface your questions with. You could accidentally knock of a considerable chunk of the value of what seems like a coin that's potentially worth ...

On a side note, I'm curious. I grew up in the 70s. I never encountered a Whitman Snap-Tite for older 32.5 mm bust halves. Looks like they must have made them at some point. I chuckle when I see folders for coin series 1793- HA!

Re: 1943 Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse), Type 2, Steel - S

The coin has been repurposed so replated after mint and is damaged from that process.

Re: 1943 Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse), Type 2, Steel - S

Hard to tell form the pictures, but you may have a plated 1943-S. Re-plating them was done frequently to make them shiny, and after mint of course, when companies would make promotional items such as this set: 8684919_1.jpg These were commonly given away for opening a bank account etc. All the coins...
