winterhawk Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 3:11 pm I've had this coin for at least a decade, purchased from local dealer along with several other similar era coins. Wondering if it would be worth sending to CONECA? Report this Post to the Staff

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2286 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 4:20 pm NPMTM = Nefarious Post Mint Tooling Marks. It's in the title folks, use your noggin. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Edited by NumismaticsFTW 10/16/2023 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 4:53 pm No doubt someone trying to turn a $100 coin into a $4500 coin. What did the dealer sell it to you as? Report this Post to the Staff
winterhawk Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 6:37 pm The dealer I purchased the coins from was very reputable (has since retired) this coin was among several other coins, 3cSilver Ch AU++ maybe Unc, A superb 1858 F.E., several half dimes(capped bust, seated one was ch AU+). Several dimes capped, seated and Barbers. There were several large cents and a few 1/200 cents. Also Capped, Seated 25c and halves. He was from Iowa, went home for a visit and came back with them and I just happened to be the first to see them. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 9:08 pm I wonder if the person who tooled off the arrows had any idea how they would tool off the rays too. What a shame to deliberately damage a coin like this. Report this Post to the Staff
