Help Grading 1872-H 25 Cent

Since Pacificoin said "it does not look like", not "it's definitely not", I posted what I posted so he and others would know for sure how to distinguish it.

Good eye for the A's. I played round with the photo above and saw there's a weak crossbar in the A of REGINA. Can't tell for the other one. I think both are weak crossbars like some 1874's.

Here's a crackpot theory. Think of the punch - the crossbar is thin and has a recessed area above and below. If you break off part of the crossbar on the A punch, (maybe while trying to repunch a V by mistake), then repunch another A, the > part will sink, but with the punch crossbar missing a piece, no impression is made. It will look like a V punch was used.

There are "new" finds to be found!! Say that 5 times fast.

ok, in the meantime, here is a comparison from the subject coin to a certified coin. granted, there may be different dies involved in 1872. BUT both coins are obv 2.
you guys be the judge...and I may be totally looking at the wrong side.... but... see it for yourself.
Okie questioned QV's nose... I question a lot more.
honestly... I hope someone will remove all that doubt.
for those of you who have that coin... please compare.
Another question for the OP:
where did you acquire that "coin"?
and, please weigh the coin and post the weight.

On the Reverse, it looks like the leaf tips at 9-9:00 look to be touching the beads. Allso, from the beginning, it doesn't look like a silver coin. I initially though the washed out look came from heavy cleaning, but it just doesn't look like Ag.

DBM caught my drift! See what is there......not what you expect to see.

I tried replying to your email (via CCF) but it will not go through
