Dronmon New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 11:01 pm Hello all, I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge of this coin. Was checking with a scope to see if it was an open or closed 3 and was a bit shocked to find the overdate! I cannot find any info on the variety. Can anyone help? You can even see some doubling of the 7! I have uploaded a pic of the date, but the coin is AG. Thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 11:27 pm That's a nice RPD! I think it matches the Snow-1 1873 Open 3 1/1 (s) 73/73 (n) Report this Post to the Staff
Dronmon New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 05/11/2012 11:59 pm Thanks DVCollector! Not so hard to find on the net now that I have the designation! I guess it might be time to get a book on copper varieties. Web works fine for Lincolns, but anything else is tough to find. What is the best resource to get? Any that include prices? Thanks.

I'm proud to call him a friend too. Seriously get his attribution guides. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
