No obvious solder marks, right shape and size. The lack of being filled doesn't bother me, and the level of wear on the mm looks appropriate. The location appears lower than my example and Jaoblers example, but if I recall, there were 4 reverse dies with different locations. You definitely need to send it in to know for sure. Congrats on 3000 Jaobler! Edited by johnny54321 11/10/2011 12:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 11/10/2011 01:53 am Last picture shows that its not matching any of the 4 known die states, at least to me. I would return it if possible, also the coin reverse looks more worn than the obverse which make me think something else is going on, like making it look more circulated. Edit: I would say send it to ANACS and get it authenticated, pictures may still be unclear. This one is tough. Edited by macmercury 11/10/2011 02:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 11/10/2011 02:48 am Can you post a larger picture of the whole reverse. We might be able to tell if it is or isn't a type-of-1916 reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 11/10/2011 10:28 pm Thank you everybody for having a look and giving your input. I plan on sending this coin in as soon as I get a free day. As requested here are new full size photos of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 11/11/2011 12:07 pm Definitely a VG, but something really does look "off" with the coins appearance, in addition to the fact that it looks cleaned. Usually the obverse is stronger than the reverse detail wise and rim wise, so I don't think there is anything fishy there, but something just doesn't look right. I guess you will just have to send it in to know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
