Nice one and thanks for the lesson. Which Snow # is the 1875?

This is the S-16 variety. I just looked on ebay, there is one PCGS UNC detail (altered color) listed for $4k. I don't think these detail coins are worth that much. I think Rick Snow recently had one in MS65RB, but it looks like he sold it last week. It was listed somewhere around $5500 if I recall correctly. |

RedRaider - I've been collecting IHCs for nearly 40 yrs. yours might be cleaned but it's still way above average attractiveness. Nice cherrypick here.

Good to get a smell of a bona-fide Score! Oh thats a nice one for sure. Now you have 200 more people looking at dealer boxes again LOL I had comp,easy forgotten about the 1875 "dot" variety and good to know its more than myth. ANACS...why not? Their as good as anyone for the proletarian collector...chuckle seriously though high 5 on your major cherrypick of a bona-fide unicorn. This post will end up being looked at by the hardball hard-core big money Indian penny guys and Gals and I hope they chime in and blow some dust up on the forum. Mike Diamond where are you? Folks...ahum excuse me as I stand up from my folding metal char and declare "this is news, big news big big news" send this post on to coin week coin news or whatever it would make an excellent article, they seem starved over there for material - last penny article was a generic rundown of 1974 Cent. Lastly I want to thank you for giving some juice to the forum, I got juiced anyways and hope your very happy with this smart cherrypick. Edited by luvmyCAM

That's some story with the mint doing this to catch one of their employee.
Congrats on a great find.

Fantastic find, RedRaider! By the way, did the seller know what they had?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
