CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 9:46 pm I need your help on determining the date of this coin. I've looked at it forever. I originally thought it was an 1888, but then I Saw that the middle "8", is smooth on the right-hand edge, not split like an "8" would be. What do you think? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 10:00 pm Really? I thought the third digit may have been a 9. the side of it is smooth unlike an 8 would be. 9< 8< Report this Post to the Staff
