Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 3:01 pm I picked up this lower-grade half and noticed the very small mintmark style. It is much smaller that the type used for my PCGS-graded VF-25 example of the same date. Does anyone know the story behind the different mintmark types? I also have an NGC-graded XF-45 1876-CC half with similar tiny mintmark, although the spacing seems closer than on the worn 1877-CC. Here are photos of the worn 1877-CC plus mintmark shots of all three coins. Worn 1877-CC: PCGS VF-25 1877-CC: NGC XF-45 1876-CC: Report this Post to the Staff

I would drop him an email and ask him your questions. If he doesn't know, nobody does. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
