Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 7:17 pm It's the oldest US coin. I do have one or two Roman coins in MUCH better shape. Like this one.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/20/2013 10:02 am To me, this coin looks like it got some corrosion in the ground, then was found and perhaps holed and worn, acquiring more wear. As to the rarity, I think the tight date and shift to the right of the letters of LIBERTY relative to Liberty's head is a good match for the obverse shared by S-144 and S-145. Unfortunately, the reverse just isn't right for the R-7 S-144! But what do people think of this being S-145? Hard to be confident on the call. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/21/2013 3:04 pm Philadelphian, Thanks for the direction. I used Photoshop to overlay the image and the reverse of my coin does not match the reverse of S-144. The overlay does match S-145 almost exactly. If it is a S-145, would it be worth sending it in for confirmation in this poor and damaged condition? ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!
