Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 6:56 pm To me, this looks like a split serif (see arrow). However I must be wrong since it is not listed on coppercoins. I thhink I need some guidance. Thanks for any help. As near as I can tell, what appear to be separation lines in the date appear in the photo only, not on the coin-in-hand. So I think they are only reflections. Pete Report this Post to the Staff

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 05/10/2013 7:47 pm Hard to see in the picture, doesn't look like a split serif to me. If it is it's probably too minor to list. Not many late 70s rpms. Report this Post to the Staff
