were looking at in 1831 matron had sent
0:03
can you guess the grade but first
0:06
last time we looked at an 1803 trade bus
0:10
the correct grade for this coin was ms61
0:14
getting it right was MD Taco John Eric
0:18
Bermuda and classic coins good job guys
0:22
and good job to everyone who submitted
0:24
their answer many of you are very close
0:28
the 1831 matron headset is one of the
0:31
more common middle date issues according
0:34
to Mint records three million 359
0:37
260 of these coins were struck making it
0:41
a type coin of course the term type coin
0:45
is misleading as once a coin reaches a
0:47
certain state of preservation and
0:49
presentation levels of scarcity will
0:54
speaking of scarcity this example
0:56
exhibits more than a hint of mint State
0:59
red predominantly around the protected
1:01
areas of the obverse in reverse and more
1:04
pronounced on the reverse in the space
1:06
separating the lettering and the wreath
1:09
here's something you may not know today
1:11
there are no known examples of the 1831
1:14
scent and mint State red
1:17
the strike of this example is above
1:20
average in my opinion but it is
1:22
important to note that the radials on
1:24
the stars are largely missing here
1:27
planche and quality is quite strong
1:29
which is typical for the period
1:32
so what grade do you give this coin and
1:35
what do you think its value is leave
1:37
your comments and we'll return next week
