Nice! I've snagged more than a few nice coins on ebay for bargain prices from sellers who
provide crappy pictures.

VERY nicely done. Knowledge is power! Though how you deduced the variety from
the terrible original photos is a mystery to me.

Bruce,
I shouldn't give away my secrets, but for the 1838 partial drapery,
the clash mark on the reverse is usually much more easily seen than
the partial drapery/clash mark on the obverse. That's how I picked it
up on this coin, being low grade and lower grade picture. This is the
second 1838 PD I've flipped on Ebay. They go for way over Trends. The
last one was a VG, which should have gotten about $30, but went for
$170!
The big boys sometimes miss it also. There was an MS-60-something in
an NGC holder in one of the big auctions last year. NGC missed it and
the auction house missed it (or didn't look). Thought I'd be able to
snag it, but it was noticed by one of the Seated Dime experts
(Fortin), and he outbid me.
Greer doesn't even mention the reverse clash in his book, though Awash
does in his older book which Greer pretty much replaced (and we're
still waiting for Gerry Fortin's CD-book that was promised to be done
a year or two ago).

Just noticed how munged my title got. Sorry about that folks! Should

Okay, I can see it. Just barely. Good eye!
