A good resource would be a professional curator at the State Museum (don't know where you live, but surely, every state has a state museum)... these folks (often) have gone to college to learn how to solve mysteries exactly like the question you pose. I am thinking some kind of Xray technique. The FBI knows how to read serial numbers even after they have been ground off by a bad guy. I saw that once on CSI.

And I meant to add... re. state curator... sometimes the cost of them running in through the University's scanner ... is done as a "class exercise". free. Curators LOVE to talk about what they do.

looks like a 12 to me...but I think I could hook you up with something more discernable if you want one

It's definitely a 12 whose tail has been stepped on, but C. D. Daughtrey has the best solution -- turn it in to someone else's problem.

Dunno, but I could send you one of each so you could toss that in the penny cup at the store and make someone else guess... I got it covered coppercoins.  You get full credit for the idea though. Thanks for that btw. He bought a few coins from me last week and I'm mailing them out on Monday or Tuesday. I've already included one of each in the package. Scott |

It is not anymore. It is very easy for the staff to accidentally check that box when editing or moving a topic. For the record, it was not me. |

I'm going to agree with 1912 (badly abused!)

Funny how much time we INFECTED collectors can spend on something so totally worthless. I know, I've done it too. At best the coin is a common wheat at that grade - a cull worth about 3 cents.
But hey...I've spent HOURS on coins that had a maximum value of $1 no matter which way I looked at it.

51% to 49% leaning on a 1912.....the longer I look at the pics, the less sure I am.

Yep ! I know is worthless but I didn't have a better 1912 at the time and couldn't stand that hole on my album was happy with that one until Scott coins arrived And and made more happy when I saw that Scott gave a decent one to replace ! thanks Scott very nice of you . You guys have to check out a 1959 IHC that I only keep because is the 1st IHC to be issued and also because is different variet so no way I ll ever trough it out ! Check this out 1959 whet leaves no ahold variety 1 , how can I trash this coin . Is painful to see !   Sometimes we just cant help , is crazy but truth  Edited by Ricardocody
