i think its a little stronger at VF35. could use some verdicare to clean it up and get rid of the gung. this would also help preserve the coin. great deal at $11  |

Thanks Panzaldi and all. Verdicare will be used on this as it does appear as though it's just dirt. I was quite surprised when I found this coin at a LCS yesterday at only 11 dollars. Also picked up Newcomb's United States Copper Cents book as well and have been having fun identifying the different varieties of all my old copper. I took yours and others advice in trying to locate some of these books and this one came in cheap as well yesterday at the coin show.

I think you need to do some legwork on it - it LOOKS like the N4 (repunched date) variety

VF35...40 is not out of the question. imo. I do not think it is a repunched date.....well placed die chip on the 8?

Well - if you zoom your browser to 400% (and I know this is not the best photo and enlarging it leads to artifacts, etc.) there is something there:  under the 4 and the 6 and maybe on the 8... or it could be crud.

When I get home from work today I'll take another shot of just the date area. I never even noticed the additions by the eight or the four. Definitely warrants another tight macro shot. So stay tuned! Is the N4 or restruck date a more difficult or more common variation? Thanks again...... |

VF-35 and a bargain for the price.

here's a highly detailed shot of just the date. I think there may be something but I'll leave that to you guys who I'm sure are more expert in this than I am. BStrauss3, thoughts?  |

BStrauss3, thoughts? Nice shot. I'm going with crud (sorry). At least for what I thought was a big obvious re-punched 6 at 3 o'clock. That was clearly crud/shadow. I would think the ding on the 8 is PMD. W/o the book, I couldn't guess further and since I really only have one LC in my collection as a type piece, there are other books ahead of it on my list ... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

It's still a nice coin in my opinion no matter the variety. I actually think it might be N-10 but I've just started digging into it. |

VF35 leaning to VF40 and a very good buy. Would buy them all day long at that price for that grade of coin. |
