This higher grade multiple struck specimen of an 1826 3/C variety provides missing details for the obverse not able to be seen in previously known specimens.  The 2nd Edition 1826 3/C plate coin's reverse though shows better detail than this specimen (except for the 50 C. area due to a hole).  Based upon the details of this 1826 3/C specimen's obverse plus the details of the 2nd Edition 1826 3/C plate coin's reverse an updated vetted description is as follows:

Obv. 3    Large crowded stars on left
Rev. C    UNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA reads as one word

                 Les-Below right ¼ of E
                 Res-Below left serif, right stand of M

Obv.        Stars on left crowded.
Rev.        UNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA reads as one word, with a high F in OF tilted to the upper left.  Very thin scroll, with S centered under S.

Note - Both German silver and silver wash covered brass specimens are known.  No. 449 as listed in Riddell’s 1845 monograph.  Very Scarce 

ccCBHcc revetted update 09/2014

This higher grade specimen of an 1826 3/C provides missing details for the obverse.  This specimen's obverse is slightly double struck that can be noticed in the date.  The 1826 3/C (and former 1826 8/H) plate coin though provides clearer reverse detail due to a significant double strike of this specimen's reverse which distorts detail.  The specimen has a lettered edge.

1826 4/D (off struck obverse with slight multiple strike reverse)

This higher grade specimen of an 1826 4/D variety provides missing details not able to be seen in other known specimens.  Hopefully these added attributes will help fellow collectors for future finds!

• E in LIBERTY on headband bottom is extremely faint making the letter look like an F (previously not stated).
• Liberty's eye looks sleepy with enlarged upper lid (previously not stated).
• Feather's towards tips of wings are not small individual feathers but rather fewer long single feathers (previously not stated).  
• Top crossbars on shield waver on right side (previously not stated).
• 5 in 50 C. tilts to upper left (previously not stated).
• Lettered edge (previously not stated).
• Obverse Note - Extreme 5 o'clock to 2 o'clock depression on rim due to off strike.  
• Reverse Note - Upper left wing, bottom right wing, second A in AMERICA (A3) and top arrowhead are not recuts but are due to a slight multi strike.

1826 10/J and 1826 14/N Further research has determined that the 1826 10/J is the same as the identified 1826 10/J variety. The description for the 1826 14/N is more detailed than the description for 10/J and should be kept.  The 1826 10/J variety has been discontinued.  However, the phrase "1 high and tilted to the left" should be correctly stated as "1 tilted / rotated to the right " and the phrase "stars 9, 10, 11, 12 nearly touch" (from the 10/J description) should be added to the obverse  description for the 14/N.

1830

Obv. 2    Small, wide date

Rev. Ba. Very high 50 C. period 

LES – Left stand of E
RES – Inner left stand of A

Obv. Small. Wide date.  Identical to prime state (a.k.a. 1830 2/B).

Rev. Very high 50 C. period.  Recutting of right lower serif of all three A’s in legend,

bottom of lowest arrowhead, end of olive branch, and all three sets of olive leaves

making the central set much smaller than on the prime specimen. 

Notes:  

1) Edge for state “a” contains an error with the N of cents backwards. Same error is

found on prime state 1830 2/B examples.

2) Comparison of the edges shows spacing of letters in the words and letters themselves

are identical. However start and end points of FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR

differ between the two specimens suggesting that the lettering was applied like regular

mint products,

3) State “a” known from two examples.  First found 10/2009 is high grade (VF+) but

holed (e.g. top two images). Exhibits a dull copper to orange tone. Second found 5/2016 

(e.g. bottom two images) and is lower grade (VG). More normal silvery appearance

possibly cleaned. 

4) Ring test suggests slight difference in composition between the two specimens.

1830 2/B and 1830 2/Ba Further research has determined that a group the identification of the 1830 2/Ba likely the result of a formerly used die purposely recut significantly and then placed back into service. 2/B and 2/Ba represent "different" engraved/punched a new set of letters (i.e. different than a die state where there is some type of wear or failure that results in a crack or CUD  There have been occasional instances of very minor recutting in early US coinage. But the 2/Ba is significantly greater in terms of the number of locations and the degree of recutting.  The 1830 2/Ba is identified below:

1832 2/B and 1832 3/B - Continued research in 2018 has redetermined that the 1832 3/B thought to have been the same variety as the 1832 2/B is in fact a separate variety as originally stated in the 1st Edition. The misunderstanding that the 1832 2/B and 1832 3/B were the same variety was due in that 1832 2/B images were used for both varieties in the 2nd Edition. The 1832 3/B variety is no longer discontinued as previously stated in the 2017 census and 2018 census.   (Please reference the Collectors Corner article 1832 Davignon 2/B, 3/B and 3/C Enigma by Winston Zack - November 2018 for a more understanding of this redetermination).

*******************************************************************************************

1832 4/D - The 2nd Edition incorrectly identifies a known example of the 1832 4/D.  The picture shown is actually a cast copy of 1832 O-110.  The last sentence of the description should say - "No. 459 as listed in Riddell's 1845 monograph.

Although the 1833/0 3/C plate specimen pictured in the 2nd Edition is in a higher grade even retaining most of its original silver wash, the 1833/0 3/C specimen pictured above shows greater contrasting detail.  Note that the test cuts on the obverse and reverse (most noticeably on the obverse by Liberty's eye and on the reverse from the left side of the shield extending through the legend) should not be confused with the die design of this variety (e.g. the line through the letter E in AMERICA is an extension of one of the test cuts as the variety shows no recut letter E).   The edge of this specimen shows strong lettering that is partial due to excessive reeding.

 1833 33/X and 1833 41/X- Further research has determined that the previously known 1833 33/X variety (a multi struck specimen) and the 1833 41/X variety are in fact the same variety.  The now understood single variety will be known as the 1833 41/X due to the clarity of the 1833 41/X plate coin in the 2nd Edition.  The 1833 33/X variety has been discontinued. [This reidentification has been discussed in the When 1 variety + 1 variety = 1 variety article in the Collectors Corner section of the website ( http://cccbhcc.com/collectors-corner.html#Mar 2016 ).]

1835 18/R

Obv. 18   Flat top 3 in date

Rev. R     I between T and E

Les - Middle of D
Res – Inside right stand of M

Obv. Similar to Obv. 9, however the date and stars 8 – 11 have all

been recut, and the left side of the bottom loop in 8 is open with 8

and 3 showing recuttings.  

Rev. Obviously the same counterfeiter as Rev. I, but with the
following differences.  Broken third arrowshaft, N in UNITED is
much higher at the base than U and I. I is between the T and E.
ICA in AMERICA distant form each other.

Note – This is a revetting of previous 1835 9a/R variety as its
own unique variety.  The edge is hand-engraved with lines
looking like 'reeding'. It is possible that this example did not go
through the milling or castaing machine like other 'Mexican Head'  
varieties did.  This example is within the 'Mexican Head' family. 

Only one piece known. Rare
