numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 12011 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:01 pm @52Raymo, you are probably one of the foremost specialists in the Indian cent series here and you probably know better than just about everyone here. What I see is that you seem to have cherry picked the famous Snow-16, famous because coiner Archibald Snowden authorized a deliberate small die punch in the N of ONE in order to catch a Mint worker who had been stealing cents. A small dot was punched on the reverse die there creating a small raised dot is clearly seen on this coin. Mint workers were checked at exit from the building to see who was stealing this modified cent. I believe that fewer than 50 examples of this interesting variety are known to exist. This a known Mint modification of a coin that was produced differently from the intended design. For grade, VF details corroded. Congratulations! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8541 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:23 pm Thanks for the kind words NS, I truly appreciate it. Yes, you nailed it, the Snow 16 Dot on N. I think the sixth one I've found in the wild. I enjoy the hunt for different Snow Varieties and probably will till the day I die. Take care my friend !

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18983 Posts	Posted Today 43M ago I'm in the VF details ( PMD) box as well. she would be a candidate for either acetone or verdicare, however, I would be very leery as to what it would reveal on the surfaces. I think i'd leave it as is. Report this Post to the Staff
