Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 7:17 pm Bought this out of a 6 for $1 box. The scan shows nothing, I'm afraid. On the obverse, you can see the outline of liberty and the bun behind her head; LI_E; and 179_. On the reverse, you can see the 1/100, and the bow has a stem on the right. Another large cent included for size comparison. So, did I overpay? Report this Post to the Staff

I was getting worried about you. Even with chesterb's math, I would have picked it up. Maybe wise minds than I can guide you in imaging to help with identification. Report this Post to the Staff
Nathancrh1 Pillar of the Community Canada 785 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 9:19 pm Wow has that coin ever been abused! I've seen a lot of worn down coppers but this is something. Even after saying that I would buy those all day long for 25c. Report this Post to the Staff
